New York hip hop innovators Jungle Brothers performed at Cloud 9 in Beijing on Saturday May 22. Mike G (pictured left) and Afrika Baby Bam scratched and rapped their way through a selection of old and new songs, including their current dancefloor hit ‘Breathe (Don’t Stop)’.

They were in Beijing on their way to a gig in Australia. The Beijing performance was set up by Cloud 9’s Zhang Youdai, China’s first radio DJ to play rock, reggae and blues.
