Dres joins Dave (Trugoy) of De La Soul, Q-Tip of A Tribe Called Quest, and the elusive Mike Gee of The Jungle Brothers on "Birds Of A Feather" the latest scorcher off his new LP From The Black Pool Of Genius, now scheduled for release on June 29th. "It's a long time coming," says Dres of the track. "Birds Of A Feather" represents the beauty and strength of kinship and unity. Its even greater when your family is dope."

The track is not only another victory, but a coup for fast-rising producer Tough Junkie, who contributed a handfulu of beats to the new album. -
