Jurassic 5 debuted nationally in 1995 from
TVT Records with their first single, "Unified Rebelution". Jurassic 5 released
Jurassic 5 EP, their first record, in 1997. It "cemented their position in the 1990s alternative hip hop movement, alongside artists such as
Company Flow,
Black Star and
Kool Keith." The group later signed to
Interscope Records, and the EP was repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the full-length debut album, titled
Jurassic 5. This was followed by the album
Quality Control, which peaked at No. 43 on the
Billboard 200. In 2002, they released
Power In Numbers, which peaked at No. 15 on the
Billboard 200 chart. Jurassic 5 eventually toured without
Cut Chemist, who left the group to pursue a solo career. The remaining five members released
Feedback, their final album, on July 25, 2006. The album peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. The break-up was attributed to disagreements among members of the group. In 2013, the group re-formed, including the return of Cut Chemist, for the
Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival and an international tour, primarily in the UK but also including dates in Ireland, Portugal, Spain, Japan and the United States. They played at Glastonbury in 2014 and had a Word of Mouth Reunion Tour during the Summer of 2014. In 2016, they released their first new song in a decade, "Customer Service". ==In other media==
