The group debuted for TVT Records in 1995 with the single for
Unified Rebelution. Their acclaimed position in the 1990s alternative hip-hop movement, alongside artists including Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith, was confirmed when the Jurassic 5 EP was released in December 1997.The EP was later repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the band’s full-length debut album, entitled Jurassic 5 LP.
The tracks harked back to the old school attitude of new york’s Native Tongues Posse, the seminal late 1980s coalition of artists who reaffirmed rap’s social agenda, which included De La Soul, the Jungle Brothers and A Tribe Called Quest. This was evident on the song
Concrete Schoolyard (“Let’s take it back to the concrete streets/Original beats from real live MCs”), and the album even provided the troupe with a surprise uk Top 40 single when it reached number 35 in November 1998. The other stand-out track, Jayou, was built around a hypnotic flute loop from Pleasure Web’s Music Man Part 1 (Music Man Part 1).
