The Popblerd Interview: Dres (of Black Sheep and EvitaN)

We got a chance to sit down with a hip-hop legend. Dres of Black Sheep fame talks to us about the Native Tongues as well as his new project, EvitaN. Their album “Speed of Life” drops today!

The Viewfinder: EvitaN feat. Sadat X, “3 Kings”

What’s better than EvitaN, the team of Black Sheep’s Dres and A Tribe Called Quest’s Jarobi?

Even Michael Jackson and Prince took time out from dancing and sex to […]
