rrWhile the powerhouses of the loose Native Tongue collective were undoubtedly De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest and the Jungle Brothers, the wider family threw up some intriguing groups and unforgettable records.

rrBlack Sheep u2013 the duo of Dres and Mr Lawnge u2013 were a natural fit for the Native Tongue vibe, displaying the same kind of wit and humour as their counterparts, with an off-kilter approach that helped them stand out.

rrWhile they only released one truly amazing album u2013 their debut 'A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing' was a standout in 1991, one of hip-hop's best years for LP's u2013 it spawned five unique singles, with this the first one that really garnered any attention.

rrWhile it wasn't a smash hit outside of hip-hop circles, it showcased their approach perfectly u2013 sinuous rhymes, clever wordplay and a hint of flirtation. If the drums sound familiar, it's because it's the same Joe Farrell break u2013 the intro to 1974's 'Upon This Rock' u2013 that Kanye West later used for 'Gone'. Add in some horns from Herb Alpert and The Tijuana Brass and you've got a funky little earworm.

rrThey return to the same Joe Farrell well for the flip, 'Buttu2026 In the Meantime', because if the break isn't broke, don't fix it. Previously unavailable on 7', this brace of 1991 sureshots is the perfect introduction to the idiosyncrasies of the Native Tongue era.
