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!"

by Charley44 on 7/30/14Lifestyle Communities Pavilion - ColumbusJurassic 5 is always a class act. Always a good show and they keep it clean which is also refreshing at a hip hop show. They took the time after the show to greet fans and sign autographs and did not rush out when they were done.

by EGre on 7/29/14Greek Theatre-U.C. Berkeley - BerkeleyLoved every moment of the show and thought the performers and artists were excellent! Would definitely go back again next year. DJ Shadow is my all time fave! If there were 50% less pot bubbles floating around the environment I would have been happier, but others around me didn't seem to mind them at all.

by LadyBolt21 on 7/24/14Boulevard Pool–Mophie Stage at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas - Las VegasJ5 is a great band to watch live. This was my 2nd time seeing them live. First, I saw them some years back in San Diego at 4th & B and this second time was even better in Vegas. J5 is worth the money and time.

They still kick ass, and have fun doing it. It was fantastic to see a packed house, and everyone having a great time. I highly recommend everyone and anyone to see Jurassic 5 live.....they won't let you down.

by Ismatic on 7/17/14Santa Barbara Bowl - Santa BarbaraReunion tour with Dilated Peoples, Jurassic 5 & Supernatural was superb! Supernatural is fantastic live; he has quite the verbal dexterity and charisma to match. DJ Babu brought it that night; as did the rest. The fans loved it. SB Bowl is a great place to watch a show as well, no bad seats in the house, beautiful setting.

Rating: 3 out of 5 Underground Hip Hop's Finest
by USAUSA on 7/15/14Greek Theatre - Los AngelesIt was a spectacular show with each artist sounding exactly how they are in their album. Definitely true performers. HOWEVER - I'm not sure who was on AV. They definitely did not know how to keep the right performers on the big screens.

by miracarmona on 7/15/14Greek Theatre - Los AngelesThe whole night was amazing! So cool to see everybody back together again. I was able to catch them on their first Word of Mouth tour at the HOB. So cool to see them in a huge yet intimate setting. Weather and sound was perfect. Everybody was cool and there was no drama. Not a bad seat in the house!

by Feigy15 on 7/15/14Greek Theatre - Los AngelesThis was one of the best shows I have seen in a long time! Jurassic 5 was just as good as they were 13 years ago when I went to the same show, if not better. Great crowd, favorite venue, overall a really good time. Never saw Supernatural before and i think is the best free flower i have seen live!
