It’s not that we think the music of today’s youth lacks the depth, the talent and the general dedication of those artists from our hey day but….we think the music of today’s youth lacks the depth, the talent and the general dedication of those artists from our hey day. So when we get a chance to introduce those wayward wee teens and not-so-teens to real hip hop that deals with meaning and not just money, well, we’re just tickled pink. So open your wallets and get yourself a ticket to see that which is Jurassic 5 awesomeness at the Enmore Theatre this coming Tuesday and Wednesday, 18-19 March.

Six years after the group broke up in 2007, what once seemed impossible has now happened: the Hip-hop group is back in action. The group stormed the stage at Coachella in April for their first show since reuniting, to massive praise. Having spent the majority of 2013 taking their new live show across the world, Jurassic 5 have confirmed a stop over in Australia – a stop over that we welcome with open arms and big baggy pants.

Forming back in 1993 and representing the city of LA, the six piece crew consisting of emcees Chali 2na, Mark 7even, Zaakir, Akil and DJs Cut Chemist and Nu-Mark, dropped their first single “Unified Rebelution” in 1995. The track was a different wave of hip-hop, more laid back in comparison to the other West Coast hip-hop, but still laced with bold lyricism. By bringing up everyday themes and refashioning hip-hop’s classic funk and soul roots, the group developed a unique signature sound that saw them release four successful albums, and 13 singles including the hip-hop bangers “Quality Control” and “What’s Golden”.

Jurassic 5 will perform at the Enmore Theatre Tuesday and Wednesday, 18-19 March.
