Rapper Dres and producer/DJ
Mr. Lawnge are returning to the Hip-Hop scene with a new album, 8WM.
According to Dres, re-entering the game is just another chance
at furthering the Black Sheep legacy and continuing their success.
In 1991, Black Sheep released their seminal debut "A Wolf
in Sheep’s Clothing," which reached #30 on the Billboard charts and ended
up selling over a million records.
The album spawned two massive singles, “The Choice is
Yours” and “Flavor of the Month.”
"Our record plays in a party everyday of the year…a lot
of artists can’t say that," Dres said of his previous hits. "If we
were to get paid for every time our album was played, we would be millionaires."
Guests on the album include Showbiz, Lord Finesse, Kwame, Dinky
Bingham, Vitmain D, Bean One and others.
To commemorate their entrance back into the Hip-Hop scene, the
duo will appear at the Knitting Factory on July 5th as a part of the Discipline
Series.
Joining Black Sheep on stage will be Medina Green, Tom Chase,
Dirty Nichols and others.
Tickets for the Discipline Series event are $10 in advance and
$12 at the door. Doors open at 10pm.
Black Sheep will also be hitting the road with De La Soul beginning
July 18.
