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]
