Jurassic 5 Add Dates To Word Of Mouth Tour
Jurassic 5, the six-man underground group, whose rhymes are inspired by old-school rap, have added several dates to their fall Word of Mouth tour, according to Interscope spokesperson Janette Baxa.
Also performing on the bill are Los Angeles rappers Dilated Peoples and West Coast turntablists Beat Junkies. New York-bred freestyler MC Supernatural will round out the lineup.
Jurassic 5, who consist of Chali 2NA, Zaakir, Akil, Marc 7, Cut Chemist and DJ Nu-Mark, were forced to leave the summer Vans Warped Tour when their bus crashed while traveling to a Houston tour stop. Several Jurassic 5 members, including Chali 2NA, were hospitalized briefly.
This year, Jurassic 5 released Quality Control, their full-length follow-up to their acclaimed 1999 self-titled EP. The LP's title track (RealAudio excerpt) has generated rap and rock radio airplay. The next single from Quality Control will be "World of Entertainment," Baxa said.
