BLACK SHEEP
Lyricist, artist, MC, there are so many words that can be used to define the creative force that is known as Andres "Dres" Titus. A talented hip hop artist, Dres is known to many as one half of the iconic Hip hop group Black Sheep, a group that created one of the most notable songs of the hip hop genre, "The Choice is Yours" a song that has shaped the mold of the culture in more ways than one. The track also recently lent its recognizable sound to Kia Motors, being featured in a popular commercial for the auto company which resulted in a remarkable 24% sales increase for the brand.
Dres's story is an inspiring one, although it was a journey that was not always quite easy. Born to a teenage mother, Dres moved frequently, resulting in his leaving his birthplace of Astoria, Queens as a young man. Not many people can gracefully rebound from the culture shock of relocating as a teen from the hip streets of Queens, NY to the grassy fields of Fayetteville, NC; but Dres did, all while making it look pretty much effortless. He managed to adapt to his surroundings using the same skills he has lived his whole life with, style, candor, and creativity. Dres was always an artistic young man, who has been drawn to the power of words from a young age, "I gravitated to Stevie Wonder's music at around age 10," recalls Dres, "This was my introduction to the power of words." Intrigued by the power of learning, Dres excelled academically and participated in several extra curricular activities that contributed to his understanding of music, including playing the trumpet and singing in his high school's choir.
During his high school years in North Carolina, Dres linked up with another New York native William "Mista Lawnge" McLean, to form the group Black Sheep. The group found much success and went on to become the first hip hop group to perform on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno, collaborated with top acts like Vanessa Williams, and in 2008 had their signature song "The Choice is Yours" ranked on VH1's 100 Greatest Hip Hop Songs. Black Sheep was also an integral part of The Native Tongues, a group of artists and talent that shared similar views and a dynamic love of music. The Native Tongues included hip hop icons like A Tribe Called Quest, De La Soul, and Queen Latifah.
During later years Black Sheep disbanded, and Dres went on to continue to make his mark in the music industry. Dres describes his style as limitless within the genre, and he strives to always push himself to achieve new heights of creativity and meaning when he writes his rhymes, "I think I have an exceptional ear for knowing what compliments me as an artist," Dres says of his talent. His latest project exemplifies that creative intuition, and has brought him to collaborate with Jarobi of A Tribe Called Quest, in a new group called evitaN. evitaN looks to reenergize the current state of hip hop, bringing the culture back to a level of authenticity. "Through our music I hope to show the world that belief in yourself is paramount," says Dres, "and that caring for yourself, family, and people never goes out of style." evitaN is ready to change the face of Hip Hop music--- the world is waiting.
