MP3/Video: Black Sheep Spurs Native Tongue Reunion On The Anticipated LP From The Black Pool Of Genius
Legendary Crew Reunites And Spreads Wings on “Birds Of A Feather”
Hip-Hop fans rejoice! Black Sheep frontman, Dres has managed to coordinate theNative Tongues reunion fans have been pining for. Dres joins Dave (Trugoy) of De La Soul, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, and the elusive Mike Gee of The Jungle Brotherson “Birds Of A Feather” the latest scorcher off his new LPFrom The Black Pool Of Genius, now scheduled for release on June 29th. “It’s a long time coming,” says Dres of the track. “Birds Of A Feather” represents the beauty and strength of kinship and unity. Its even greater when your family is dope.”
The track is a banger immediately standing out as one of the Black Sheep’s most potent recent efforts. Thick kick drums and stinging snares provide a rocky backdrop sure to inspire the most jaded head-nodder. Tip and Dave’s lyrical confidence blends well with Dres’ melodic flow and Mike Gee’s bravado. The track is not only another victory, but a coup for fast-rising producer Tough Junkie, who contributed a handfulu of beats to the new album.
