With a slew of movies about '90s hip-hop — Dope, Fresh Dressed and NWA biopic Straight Outta Compton — out this summer, music critics and rap fans alike are in the midst of a full-blown nostalgia fest for what Time recently called "the golden age of hip-hop." As such, Jurassic 5 — with its laid-back, funk-infused, crazy-catchy back catalog — could not have timed this upcoming tour any better. The L.A. collective is hitting the road in support of the rerelease of major label debut, Quality Control, which is 15 years old this year, and if you failed to catch the original 2013 Coachella reunion or the group's triumphant set at Berkeley's Greek Theatre last summer, you definitely don't want to miss this. One dance to "Concrete Schoolyard" and "Quality Control" and you'll forget all about the bitches and bling of today's mainstream rap market.
