Dres (born Andres Titus) is a rapper of the alternative hip hop duo Black Sheep. On their 1991 debut album A Wolf in Sheep's Clothing, Dres has a smooth rhyme flow, with a dose of light humor. Later his style became more serious, which suits the name of the 1994 album: Non-Fiction. Shortly after this album, Dres and Mista Lawnge split up and started independent projects. In 1999, Dres released a solo album Sure Shot Redemption. On the cover, he is credited as "Dres - The Black Sheep". In 2000, the duo reunited and recorded Redlight, Greenlight (EP) and the title track for the film Once in the Life. In 2006 Dres released another Dres solo album 8WM/Novakane. In 2009, Dres released an EP entitled, From The Black Pool of Genius: The Prelude in preparation for his most recent solo LP, From The Black Pool Of Genius, released June 2010.

Dres is of African American and Puerto Rican descent.
