Black Sheep

Black Sheep is a hip-hop duo from Queens, New York, consisting of members Andres "Dres" Titus and William "Mista Lawnge" McLean. The group distinguished itself in the early '90s with its witty lyrics, playful flows, and innovative beats, strongly contributing to the Native Tongues collective, which included other acclaimed acts like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and the Jungle Brothers. Black Sheep's 1991 debut album, "A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing," is a celebrated classic, known for its sharp humor and social commentary, spawning hits like "The Choice is Yours" and "Flavor of the Month."

Over time, the duo's influence in the hip-hop community has remained significant despite changes in the musical landscape. Post their critically acclaimed debut, they followed up with the album "Non-Fiction" in 1994, which offered more of their clever rhyme schemes and laid-back beats. After an extended hiatus, they reunited and released the "8WM/Novakane" album in 2006, showing they still had the chemistry and depth that caught listeners' ears more than a decade earlier. Their more recent works, including singles like "Black Rabbits" and "Tortured Soul," as well as the collaborative track "Rock Together," featuring Q-Tip, Dave, and Mike G, reflect the duo's sustained ability to connect with the audience through relatable narratives and head-nodding rhythms. Even as veterans of the hip-hop scene, Black Sheep has maintained a profound pedigree in the genre, influencing a new generation of artists and music connoisseurs.
