Holy Native Tongues reunion, Batman! Not only is this a fresh grouping of some of hip-hop’s living legends, but “Birds of a Feather” has to be one of the better singles to drop this year. All four cats on here — Dres, Q-Tip, Dave and Mike Gee — absolutely kill it over this beat, which, I may add, is stellar as well. I wasn’t sure what to expect when Dres took the Black Sheep name and announced he would be releasing new projects. But so far, all we have heard from him, such as “Forever LuvLee”, has been golden. As for “Birds of a Feather”, you have to love and appreciate it when MCs with more than 20 years in the game join forces to drop a track that’s both inspirational and progressive. Props to all four on here and here’s hoping the rest of Black Sheep’s From the Black Pool of Genius is at this track’s level.
Hit the skip to download “Birds of a Feather”. And props to Pitchfork on the post.

Loving the beat ffjb music team maybe?
Track is real nice…not sure if people are quite ready yet for a resurgence of the real, things need to get shaken up a bit first in the industry.
Thank u so much for posting this. As a former Native Tongues junkie, this is truly appreciated! Big ups! I feel like it’s 1991 all over again.
Man….given the timing, this obviously blows my mind. Some weird synchronicity.
Dope track, though. It’s great to see a vet like this making a strong, no-bullshit, slow-burn comeback in 2010!
This is dope! Good find Marty.
