Nappy Roots @ Hip Hop Official


Fishscales and Skinny DeVille of the Nappy Roots (You might remember them from this and that) came through the offices to chop it up with us on topics like: Kentucky vs. L.A., the current state of hip hop, and not being the typical Southern rappers. They also previewed the new album Humdinger, which definitely had some head nodders on there.

I don't co-sign too many acts from the South (Outkast, Goodie Mob, Little Brother, CunningLynguists), but these dudes mos def get the seal of approval. Down to earth dudes, who are really trying to make heart-felt, soulful, and honest music. They're not on the typical Southern sound, no snap or crunk music here. They are lyricists, talking about their lives and the issues affecting them. Damn, that's refreshing.

Peep their new street single featuring Greg Nice on the hook...

Nappy Roots - "No Static" (feat. Greg Nice)


Check for the album dropping in August...support good music.
