Jurassic 5 is the debut album by American hip hop group Jurassic 5. This album contains all the songs from the Jurassic 5 EP plus a few additional tracks. Pan Records repackaged and released it as Jurassic 5 in 1998.

Contents

NME named it the 9th best album of 1998. [5]

Background

The correct title is Jurassic 5. However, in some listings, it is referred to wrongly as the Jurassic 5 LP, as "LP" confusingly appears on the album sleeve (including the CD version) artwork, which was used to distinguish it from the Jurassic 5 EP.

The Jurassic 5 logos on the album and the EP were designed by Chali 2na.

Track listing

All tracks produced by DJ Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist. [6]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Extended play</span> Musical recording longer than a single but shorter than a full album

An extended play (EP) is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single but fewer than an album or LP record. Contemporary EPs generally contain four to five tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well. In K-pop they are usually referred to as mini albums. Ricardo Baca of The Denver Post said, "EPs—originally extended-play 'single' releases that are shorter than traditional albums—have long been popular with punk and indie bands." In the United Kingdom, the Official Chart Company defines a boundary between EP and album classification at 25 minutes of maximum length and no more than four tracks.
