Blurb from WhoSampled:
“This weekend (22nd October 2016) marked the 25th Anniversary of Black Sheep’s classic debut LP ‘A Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing’. The playful long player from the Queen’s New York duo continues in the tradition of output from fellow Native Tongues De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest, drawing on a rich pallet of sample material – funk, soul, rock and jazz. In celebration we’ve teamed up once again with Wax Poetics to present this exclusive mix of album tracks, remixes, alt versions and of course original sample material, mixed by Chris Read.
