the trio hunkered down in a recording studio. Their quest was to stretch hip hop farther than ever before. Immersed in Eastern philosophy, free-verse poetry, and the records of Miles Davis and Sun Ra, Afrika and Mike (Sammy sat out due to various personal problems) hooked up with jazz/funk/worldbeat/dub producer Bill Laswell and some P-Funk luminaries to create a document they originally called Crazy Wisdom Masters. Taking cues as much from free jazz and noise rock as old-school rap, the record was truly avant garde hip hop--more akin to the current cutting-edge beats of DJ Shadow, Tricky, and Dr. Octagon than anything at the time.

But Crazy Wisdom was so experimental--and inaccessible--the JBs' record company, Warner Bros., refused to release it. And as the group tangled with its label, months turned into years without a new Jungle Brothers album. "We were trying to work out the best situation between the Jungle Brothers, with their history and music, and a record company with its own history and music," Afrika explains without bitterness. "They were experimenting as well, trying to figure out, 'What is this hip hop? We've got Ice-T, we know what that is, but what is hip- hop without the gangster influence?' On the group's end, we were still trying to define who we were. Both parties didn't have knowledge of themselves in terms of the music."

Finally in 1993, after endless edits, cuts, and remixes by an outside producer, a paler version of Crazy Wisdom--renamed J. Beez Wit the Remedy--came out. It was still a fascinating record, and still far too jagged and difficult for popular tastes (which by then had swung decisively toward smooth West Coast gangsta-funk). No surprise, it sold dismally.
