Black Sheep is a hip hop duo from Queens, New York, composed of Andres “Dres” Titus and William “Mista Lawnge” McLean. The duo is from New York but met as teenagers in Sanford, North Carolina, where both of their families relocated. The group was an affiliate of the Native Tongues, which included the Jungle Brothers, A Tribe Called Quest, and De La Soul. After getting together in 1989, Black Sheep debuted in 1991 with the hit song “Flavor of the Month” and later released its first album, A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, which gained them praise and recognition in the hip-hop community for the album’s unique rhythms and intelligent lyrics. After six years together, Black Sheep disbanded in 1995, but decided to reunite five years later.

The number 7 has been described as the Number of God and since the days of old has been associated with divinity and deep esoteric significance. The number 7 can be found throughout all of nature from the 7 colours in the visible spectrum to the 7 visible planets in the night sky and can be found riddled throughout the most holiest of scriptures and ancient symbols. It has also been said that the number 7 is the most spiritual number in the numerological zodiac and that it is in fact the number of God’s divine completion.

Speaking exclusively with VladTV, Grandmaster Caz schools Hip-Hop fans on the genre’s humble stages, how b-boys came into fruition and why he considers Coke La Rock to be Hip-Hop’s first emcee. Caz says his influence came from artists like James Brown, Barry Manilow and Chicago. Since there were just two radio stations in the ’70s, Hip-Hop’s roots were infused by a mix of soul, folk and other sounds. The rapper and pioneer also explains that Hip-Hop borrowed many breaks or “get down” sections of popular songs. With the breaks encouraging listeners to get on the dance floor, breakdancers or “B-Boys” were born. Caz’s friendship with fellow pioneer Kool Herc happened organically since they were practically neighbors. While he was too young to go to his parties, he was able to enjoy them once they became outside functions. While Caz considers himself to be the first actual rapper, he gives credit to DJ’s who essentially spoke on the mic during parties. In addition to DJ Hollywood, Caz says he would give credit to Coke La Rock as Hip-Hop’s first artist.
