Jurassic 5 (Stylized JuraSsic 5) is an American alternative hip hop group formed by rappers Charles Stewart (Chali 2na), Dante Givens (Akil), Courtenay Henderson (Soup aka Zaakir), Marc Stuart (Marc 7); and disc jockeys Mark Potsic (DJ Nu-Mark) and Lucas Macfadden (Cut Chemist).

It "cemented their position in the 1990s alternative hip hop movement, alongside artists such as Company Flow, Black Star and Kool Keith."

[citation needed] The group later signed to Interscope Records, and the EP was repackaged with additional tracks and released in December 1998 as the full-length, eponymous debut album titled Jurassic 5.

Jurassic 5 eventually toured without Cut Chemist,[8] who left the group to pursue a solo career.

Also in 2000, Jet Set Radio was released in North America including the track "Improvise" from the album Quality Control - though it only appears on the US pressing.

The song was additionally included in the video game Forza Horizon 3 on the fictional radio 'Block Party'.

"A Day At The Races" featuring Big Daddy Kane and Percee P appeared in the 2003 skateboarding game Tony Hawk's Underground.
