Power in Numbers is the highly acclaimed third album from the alternative hip-hop group Jurassic 5 (their second on a major label).
The album features a number of differing song styles. One track, React, composed by Jurassic 5 DJ Cut Chemist, is sample-based and contains no raps. Acetate Prophets has the same structure, but is much longer and also features production from Jurassic 5's other DJ, DJ Nu-Mark. Many tracks start or end with a sample of speech, usually inserted by Cut Chemist. The track DDT is an a cappella track rapped by renowned underground emcee Kool Keith, featuring no raps by Jurassic 5 themselves. The chorus of "What's Golden" features a sample from "Prophets of Rage" by Public Enemy.
