Hip House Chart and Club Successes in The UK
After successful releases by the Beatmasters, Deskee, Tyree, Doug Lazy, and Mr. Lee, hip-house became popular in nightclubs and garnered substantial chart success. The style complemented sample-based records of the period, produced by artists such as S-Express, Bomb the Bass, and M/A/R/R/S.
Jackstreet Records 1989 Release of "Vitamin-C's""The Chicago Way" helped to bring focus to the lyrical prowess of Hip-House rappers. Produced by Reggie R and Dj Bizzy-B. Hip house's further crossover success would come in the form of two ground breaking records: "I'll House You" by the Jungle Brothers and "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock. "I'll House You" is generally seen as a collaboration between New York house-music producer Todd Terry and the Jungle Brothers (an Afrocentric hip-hop group from New York). "It Takes Two" was described by Hip Hop Connection magazine as "...the first palatable form of hip-house for hardcore hip hop fans,".
Hip-house tracks featured on popular dance compilations including Telstar's compilation series and was championed by DJs such as Too Kool Chris and Chad Jackson.
