Well its the name of a hip hop group that did one or two quality tracks for Jet Set Radio, and mabye for JSRF, I can't remember.
There reason I say is that I recently got a lend of a Minidisk with one of their albums on it, Power In Numbers.
And I really like it. The chilled old skool hip hop seams really fresh wehn you've spent the last few weeks listening to 50 cents new album. Remove all the guns and violence from commercial hip hop and you get Jurassic 5. I think they're pretty cool.
Anyone else know what i'm talking about, or even heard of them?
He gave it to me in the street.
Just got a lend of the J5 ablum, and copied it. :P
Its good, but first impression are it's not as good as Power in Numbers- which has really grown on me. Concrete schoolyard is my favourite track from it, but i was disipointed that its so short. Probably not even an hour of music.

That'll be it then. I knew there was an F in there....

Charli2na (or some similarily crazy Hip Hop, down in da hood, spelling) was on DJ Format's latest single. But then the J5 guys get everywhere, espically with the number of side projects Cut Chemist and NuMark get into, they'll invariably end up doing the vocal tracks.
For those who can: Ozomatli, Cut Chemist Suit - try and get the live version from 'Morning Become Ecletic' (Aus radio show). Cut Chemist producing a track featurning a bunch of live latino jazz musicians and Charli2na MCing. Amazing track. Untily Committe, United Rebelution is another belter by a J5 offshoot.
