Sure Shot Redemption is the debut solo album by the Black Sheep member Dres.[1][2] It was released in 1999 through Ground Control Records.[3]
Critical reception
Exclaim! wrote that Dres's "voice still boasts a suave demeanour and shines on jazzy selections 'As I Look Back' and 'Hi & Lo', but his lyrical content is now reflective and spiritual; no strobe light honeys here."[4] Miami New Times thought that "on slower songs like 'As I Look Back' and 'Hi & Lo', Dres unveils the wise man that always seemed nascent in Black Sheep's wiseass tone."[5]
