The Robert Glasper Trio x Dres (Of Black Sheep) – “Just Cause”
Here it is. Very short, but so sweet. Dres goes in as The Robert Glasper Trio grooves… you know, “Just Cause.”
Just Cause I’m a huge fan of Robert Glasper’s work.. Just Cause his live version of “The Worst” is just an insanely dope piece of work.. Just Cause I play it all the damn time.. Just Cause I thought it would be really cool to put a beat under it and rhyme on it… Just Cause I thought everyone would appreciate the sentiment… I present… Just Cause.

THE ROBERT GLASPER TRIO X DRES (OF BLACK SHEEP) – JUST CAUSE
evitaN – “Higher” (Prod. By Paten Locke) [Video]
I heart evitaN! There, I said it. Once you run this one, you will say it, too. Dres & Jarobi with another heater, here in visual form, taking us “Higher.” I mean, Dres set this off with “I’m a Black Sheep, like Jesus.” Come onnnn. DOPE lyrics matter, son! And you KNOW it.
The hard hitting single by the Native Tongue brothers Black Sheep Dres and Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest.

Heresy – “Da Call Out” (Prod. Mister Lawnge of Black Sheep) [Video]
Do you remember that post we did about the dream Golden Era super-group The Alumni (here)… back in 2012??? Nothing coming of it really has been a source of lamentation for us. Thought maybe we saw Monie Love and her folks ride off in the sunset, huh? NOT! Came across some pure uncut DOPENESSS (with 3 sss) the other day from Monie Love and her super-group Heresy (comprised of lady emcees Monie Love, Dominique LaRue, Carolina Dirty and MyVerse). “Da Call Out” hits soooo hard with its social commentary! Too much degradation of our sisters – of us all – especially in Hip-Hop. Heresy calls out the perpetrators (hardest line ever: when Monie comes in with F#CK WORLDSTARR… deeeeeeem) and stands ready for whoever wanna say whatever about it! These ladies are first in my opinion (yep, that just happened).
Ready for the icing on this cake? Mister Lawnge of Black Sheep did the beat! I am overdosing on this dopenesss!

Dres – “Propagation” (Video)
“You’ll never hear of Black cops that beat and murder white boys.”
– Dres
To even conceptualize a father to son convo as a theme for a video is dope. Videos with family, passing on wisdom and love at the center have no doubt been a part of Hip-Hop’s nobler self; but few with as timely a message to share. Need this. After the sadness and frustration felt when Killer Mike told us he was kicked on his ass and feared for his sons’ lives in the wake of the Ferguson (Missouri, USA) Grand Jury announcement – America’s injustice system at its finest – here is Dres (of Black Sheep) passing on powerful words that his son needs to hear to make his way in this country (world). “Propagation” of positivity – father to son, Dres to you, Hip-Hop to us all.
Thank you, D-R-E-S. This is Hip-Hop.
