Legendary Mr. Long Releases Self-Produced Solo Album

[Damien J.]

Producer and prolific artist Mr. Long, formerly known as Mista Lawnge of the now defunct Black Sheep, is moving into new territory with his self-produced album, The Class of '89. After a powerful introduction to the world with Black Sheep's 1991 opus, A Wolf In Sheep's Clothing, and years of worldwide touring with the group, Mr. Long is bringing his talents to the forefront as a solo artist.

With the Summer 2006 release of The Class of '89, Long set out to make a strong statement about the recent trends in Hip Hop music. He felt compelled to return to the music scene because he believes that without strong intervention, today’s Rap music will continue on an unproductive course. He firmly believes that the new generation has promise beyond violence, drugs and materialism that is so prevalent in today's popular expression.

Because Mr. Long feels it is so important for fans to relate to his message, he has made The Class of '89 available for streaming on his page at CDBaby.com. "The commercial light for the past 12 years has been on Rap music," he explains. "Let's get back to Hip Hop!"
