Black Sheep

Real Name:
Andre Titus"Dres" , William McLean"Mista Lawnge"
Profile:
Beside A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul (and some others), Black Sheep are one of the lesser known and almost forgotten members of the NYC-based "Native Tongue Family". With just 2 highly acclaimed albums and a few 12"-es they gained large success, but since their last showup in 1994 they remained relatively inactive, despite an EP recorded in 2000 (released 2002). It wasn't until 2006 when they returned with their long overdue 3rd installment entitled "8WM/Novakane".
