It’s probably safe to say that for most ’90s kids, Robin Williams’ Jumanji was an iconic film for so many reasons. The fantasy, the star cast, the crazy af animals everywhere. As terrifying as it appeared, there was always a secret desire to be plonked right in the middle of that epic movie. For West London MC Jelani Blackman, this reference is all too real and the film served as a fitting theme for his recently released mixtape Jelanji.
Yep, you guessed it, Blackman’s project is spilling over with heavy jungle vibes and is the kind of playlist to get your heart pumping – whether you’re listening to it solo, turning it up on a dancefloor, or actually running from a pack of wild monkeys. The project speaks for itself and takes you on a journey through Jelani’s complex world.
But don’t think that the jungle theme is just some surface-level interest, his love of Jumanji is very, very real. As well as sharing the news of his latest project, the MC also decided to offer up some alternative soundtrack options for some of the key scenes from the film. Check out is on-point suggestions in the list below.
Jelanji is out now and available to download here.
