Black Sheep Return With First Album in 12 Years

Black Sheep's Dres "They say the rap game is like the crack game....i think we gonna sell weed...do some hip hop," Black Sheep MC Andre "Dres" Titus wrote on the group's MySpace blog last December. Almost a year later, the Native Tongues duo of Dres and DJ William "Mister Lawnge" McLean returns in earnest with a new single and a new album, both digital-only releases.

The single-- "Whodat?"-- saw release in late September to online stores via Black Sheep's own BumRush Records and digital distributor The Orchard. It features four tracks, including clean and instrumental versions of "Whodat?" and B-side "Be Careful".

The album bears the title 8WM/Novakane (8WM stands for "Women With Women With Weed With Wine With Me"!) and, like the single, it's an online-only release via Bumrush and the Orchard. 8WM/Novakane's arrives October 24, making it Black Sheep's first album in 12 years, and follows Non-Fiction and landmark debut A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing as the duo's third LP overall.

8WM/Novakane:

01 U Mean I Don't
02 Grew Up
03 Be Careful
04 Hey
05 Whodat?
