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).[1] The six piece crew that was formed, came out of the Los Angeles venue Good Life.[2] The group broke up in 2007,[3] shortly after releasing the LP Feedback, citing "musical differences,"[4] but returned to the stage in 2013 and released a new track in 2014.[5] The members have continued to release music individually.
