power in numbers

Happy new year fans! This year, the So So / Cool saga continues with more candy for your ears. We’re dropping our first episode of 2023 on Jan. 5 about J5 (see what we did there?). That’s Jurassic 5, if you’re not a Rhodes Scholar for the dollar. Specifically, we’re discussing their 2002 album “Power in Numbers.” Join us as we unlock the alpha and omega code of J5’s versatile rhymes, the distinct styles of their two DJs/producers, and the group’s deep commitment to taking rap back to its primitive state. We also talk about seeing J5 back in the early aughts, the strengths and weaknesses of four-person unison choruses, and the virtues of flute samples. And stick around until we make our final judgement and answer the question: have we mistaken them for some corny-ass crew?
