BLACK SHEEP 

FRIDAY DECEMBER 8TH 9PM  

Remembered for a couple of striking singles and their membership in the Native Tongues family of groups, BLACK SHEEP also recorded one of rap music's most entertaining debuts, A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. Released on Mercury late that year, hit number 30 on the album charts and the next single, "The Choice Is Yours," was an MTV hit (thanks to director Chuck Stone's video) and a surprising success at college radio (aside from specialty shows, rap rarely appeared on college play lists). The album eventually moved close to one million copies, and the pair appeared on the Brand New Heavies' Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. 1 next to the era's hottest rappers: Main Source, Gang Starr, Kool G Rap, and the Pharcyde.
