Prince Paul and the Baby Beat

By Virginia Prescott on Thursday, April 3, 2008.

You might be surprised at what's bubbling-up from the hip hop underground. A new collective called The Dino-5 just released its debut album. Some of the voices on the record will be well-known to rap fans - including Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, Ladybug Mecca of the Digable Planets, and Scratch of The Roots - but it's the group's target audience that's new. The Dino-5 are trying to get babies and young children grooving to their prehistoric beats. Legendary DJ Prince Paul produced the record. It was the brainchild of Andy Blackman Hurwitz, a record producer who's trying to find the best talent across genres to produce records that children and adults can all enjoy. This is the latest edition of Andy's Baby Loves Music series. Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott spoke with Andy Blackman Hurwitz about this latest installment.
