Jurassic 5 – Power in Numbers T-Shirt

Description

Six emcees. Two DJs. One movement that reminded the world what unity in rap actually sounds like.

By 2002, mainstream hip-hop had bought its jewelry and lost its soul. Then Power in Numbers dropped and the Good Life alumni — Chali 2na’s baritone, Zaakir’s precision, Akil the MC, Marc 7even, and the turntable telepathy of DJ Nu-Mark and Cut Chemist — reminded everyone that rap started as a cypher, not a solo career. “What’s Golden,” “Freedom,” “Thin Line” with Nelly Furtado, “A Day at the Races” with Big Daddy Kane and Percee P. Every track a jam session; every verse a passing of the mic.

This is a tribute to the album that made the collective feel possible again. Golden-age torchbearers who came up out of L.A.’s Good Life Cafe and Project Blowed, then turned open-mic dreams into a certified gold record. When people talk about hip-hop being a team sport, this is the record they’re citing.
