Get On Down

Jurassic 5 is a legendary hip-hop group that was formed in 1994 by members of the L.A. crews Rebels Of Rhythm and Unity Committee. The group consists of four talented MCs—Akil, Chali 2na, Marc 7, and Soup—and two skilled DJ-producers—Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark. Although Cut Chemist left the group in 2006, Jurassic 5 reunited in 2013 and continues to captivate audiences with their incredible performances.
With roots in the famous open mic nights at the Good Life Cafe, Jurassic 5 quickly gained recognition for their unique style and infectious energy. Their music blends intelligent lyrics with catchy beats, creating a sound that is both thought-provoking and irresistibly groovy.
Having made a significant impact on the hip-hop scene during their initial run, Jurassic 5's reunion has been met with great excitement from fans around the world. Their powerful stage presence and undeniable talent make them an absolute must-see for any true music lover.

Jurassic 5 flexed serious old-to-the-new muscles in the '90s, beginning with their independently released single "Unified Rebelution" in 1994, and book-ending with their stellar debut full-length: 2000's Quality Control. They walked a tightrope between underground and mainstream hip-hop, and toured alongside rap peers as well as punk rockers on the Vans Warped Tour. With double the pleasure of your average hip-hop group - two DJs and producers (Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark); and four MCs (Chali 2na, Akil, Marc 7 and Zaakir aka Soup) - they brought the late 1970s "unison MC" style of pioneering groups like the Fantastic 5 and the Force MCs to a new generation. Even more surprisingly, they did so out of Los Angeles, whose hip-hop flavors generally leaned towards Gangsta, G-Funk or Electro lines. Musically inventive and lyrically forward-thinking, each song on Quality Control is a new adventure, exploring engaging territory, delivered via one of the best live hip-hop shows fans had seen in years.
