Jurassic 5 will release their third LP, “Power In Numbers” on October 8th. The 6 man crew have always maintained an old-school meets new-school sound in their music but have actually changed things this time around. “We all knew we wanted to do something different than what we had done before, with a whole new sound and a whole new texture to the music,” producer/deejay Cut Chemist said. “We were kind of starting from scratch with no regard to what we had done before, experimenting with technique and sound.”
