Power In Numbers

by Jurassic 5 — 29 October 2002 — music — 4/5

Special guests seem to be de riguer now. Nelly Furtado, Big Daddy Kane, and Juju (from beatnuts) add to the already powerful J5 (now 7, with the addition of Percy P). Old school hip hop that focuses on flow and jazzy beats. This is the real deal. Tackling prejudice, politics, rap posturing, and social issues, J5 have delivered a sophomore album that builds on their brilliant debut.

Hot spots: Freedom, Thin Line, I Am Somebody, Day at the Races.
