the styling is creative, Black Sheep of the Native

Dres (of Black Sheep) was an emcee to check for in the early '90s. Black Sheep's most famous track, "The Choice Is Yours" was a 6th grade favorite, and in a time where "choice" matters, it's back.

Dres apparently just reworked "The Choice Is Yours" to fit the recent political frenzy. Maybe it's a bit late, maybe it's too easy, and maybe dude could do more than just remake an old hit--but the song reminds me of simpler times, is timely itself, and very nostalgic. It's worth a listen if you were a fan and, at least it's not pro-McCain. Above is the new video for it, and below is the press release they sent me, followed by the exclusive track for download (...pick it up, pick it up, pick it up!):

Austin, TX - October 29, 2008 - Dres of the platinum-selling hip hop group Black Sheep has revitalized the 1991 hit "The Choice is Yours", rewriting lyrics and donating his time and services to create an innovative pro-Obama voter initiative video. Partnered with Austin based creative teams at Voodoo Cowboy Entertainment and Super!Alright! Media in an all-volunteer effort, Dres re-recorded and shot the updated version of "The Choice is Yours" in Austin, Texas in just under two days.

"When I was younger I was told that I could be president if I wanted to, but for the first time in my life I believe it. It's an honor to work with this talented artist collective and to do my part in support of the Obama campaign and towards becoming the America that truly has liberty and justice for all". -Dres
