About

JURASSIC 5 IN CONCERT:

Legendary alternative hip hop crew Jurassic 5 continues to grind both bodies and minds with their lyrical mastery and arty beats. J5's roster of veteran rappers can rhyme circles around most of their contemporary counterparts, and resident DJs Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark remain some of the most influential figures to ever hold it down on the ones and twos. Back on the road after a six-year absence from touring, J5 haven't lost a single beat, flow, or groove, and they'll treat fans to career-spanning sets on their 2014 Word of Mouth reunion tour.

BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:

Jurassic 5 formed in 1993 from the ashes of previous hip hop collectives Rebels of Rhythm and Unity Committee. Featuring MCs Chali 2na, Akil, Zaakir, and Mark 7even and DJs Nu-Mar  and Cut Chemist, the Los Angeles-based crew earned a serious cult following with early releases like the 2005 single "Unified Rebelution" and their 2007 self-titled EP. They released their self-titled debut LP in 1998 to critical and commercial acclaim, earning praise for their creative use of samples and socially conscious lyrics. Three more critically acclaimed albums followed, launching them from underground heroes to international superstars. The group broke up shortly after the 2006 release of their fourth album Feedback, but they made good and got back together for the 2013 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival. Their success at the festival spawned a return to the studio and the highly anticipated Word of Mouth reunion tour in 2014. 

FANS WHO BOUGHT TICKETS SAY:

"These guys are legends! They are true artists and performers. They sound great live and are incredibly interactive with the audience. Akil even jumped off stage after the set and took pictures with all the fans."

"J5 killed as expected and I was particularly happy to see Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark cutting the beats live. Bad ASS!"

"Jurassic 5 was unforgettable, they killed it!"

    Simply the best concert I have ever attended. Lyrics Born killed his set, Jurassic 5 played every single song I hoped for, and the Dilated Peoples set was a pleasant topper. Exceptional lineup with a great follow-through. I look forward to the next Word of Mouth tour.

    Real Hip Hop

    by ronfrommontreal on 8/9/14House of Blues Boston - Boston

    From the beginning to the end, that's what a real hip hop show is about. Great crowd and the artists certainly fed off of the energy.

    The best show ever

    by mozin on 8/4/14STAGE AE - Pittsburgh

    These guys def need to come back, I would gladly pay more for a ticket if thats what it takes. MC Supernatural was worth the money alone. Got him to spit some lines about Abe Lincoln and then he kept my 5 bucks. Money well spent hahahahahaa.

    Jurassic 5 Rocked the House!

    by dkspittsburgh on 8/2/14STAGE AE - Pittsburgh

    Thank goodness we arrived early, and were right up front with elbows on the steel barrier. This group has not toured for some time. Man, they were impressive! One of my most memorable shows EVER. Stage AE is a very welcome venue on the Pittsburgh concert scene. My son is a huge Chali 2na fan, and Chali noticed him in the crowd. There was a lot of interaction, which of course made the night incredibly special. What blew me away was when, at the end of the show, they took requests from the crowd. Not every band is able to do that, unrehearsed, as over time they forget their own material. They appeared to have an absolute blast with us, almost as much fun as we had with them!
