Both worked on varying projects, and Dres released his solo debut, Sure Shot Redemption, in 1999. The single 'Without a Doubt' got a little airplay, but the duo split soon after. The record received close to zero promotion and didn't receive anywhere near as much acclaim as A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing. 1 next to Main Source, Gang Starr, the Pharcyde, and other highly regarded rap acts.īlack Sheep's long-awaited follow-up, Non-Fiction, didn't arrive until the tail end of 1994. The album eventually moved close to one million copies, and the pair appeared on the Brand New Heavies' Heavy Rhyme Experience, Vol. Their debut album, 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 playlists at the time). The duo's first release, 'Flavor of the Month,' was one of the hottest rap singles of 1991, and the ascendancy of Native Tongues groups De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest only improved Black Sheep's fortunes.

Dres and Mista Lawnge scored a hit with 1991's A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, one of rap music's most entertaining debuts, but broke up after 1994's Non-Fiction failed to replicate the success of their first effort. Affiliated with the Native Tongues crew, the duo shared A Tribe Called Quest's penchant for jazz samples and De La Soul's playfulness, but they delivered their socially conscious lyrics with a slightly sharper sense of humor, often making fun of hip-hop conventions and even themselves.
