Done By the Forces of Nature is the second album by the Jungle Brothers, released during November 1989 (see 1989 in music) on Warner Bros. Records. Though the Jungle Brothers have not been remembered as well as chronologically similar alternative groups like De La Soul and Queen Latifah, Done By the Forces of Nature was extremely influential in its time, and critically acclaimed for its subtle, low-fidelity sound and uplifting Afrocentric rhymes. Due to its relative lack of fame (compared to 3 Feet High and Rising, for example), Done By the Forces of Nature is often considered a lost classic album of hip-hop.
The song "Doin' Our Own Dang" includes three other members of the Native Tongues Posse, De La Soul, Queen Latifah and A Tribe Called Quest.
