Wait a second… Nappy Roots still exists? Yes, folks, you read that right; everyone’s favorite Louisville quintet is still alive and kicking after dropping off the face of the earth for half a decade or so. While the departure of their ringleader, R. Prophet and their dismissal from Atlantic Records has forced them to reshape their identity, one thing remains constant: nobody captures the Southern comfort mentality quite like Nappy. No Static, the current single off their long-awaited album, The Humdinger (due in August), details the pitfalls of living a life of excess. Producer Sol Messiah incorporates Greg Nice’s instantly-recognizable voice on the hook, which samples Nice and Smooth’s classic Sometimes I Rhyme Slow. Aww naw, Nappy’s back and here to stay.
Yes! Ive been waiting for Nappy Roots to come back forever, they were one of my fav groups becasue of their uniquness and the fact that they rap about some awesome @*#$!. This song is fire here, along with that other one they got in rotation. BANGER, can't wait for the album!
I love Sol Messiah's production. It reminds me of the early 90s knowledge hip hop. I love the Nice and Smooth sample! It serves the track nicely. Nappy Roots is back baby!
i like it. pretty cool idk if what he raps about is any different than what any other rapper raps about but its all good. give it a 3. maybe itll grow on me 2nd time around
am loving this joint, been waiting for them to come with something new. they all come hard on here. can't wait for the album, hey dj z when is there album coming out?
This is the best record that the Nappy Roots have sent our way in the last 5 years. The production is off the chain and everyone goes in. Shouts out to my man, Skinny, who will be joining me inside the DJBooth in early August.
WOW, agreed, DJZ. As a KY native, I have always been a diehard Nappy fan, and this track is INSANE. I heard it on a mixshow on XM RAW66 a few nights ago and have been trying to find it since. Thanks, DJ Booth. Can not wait for the new Nappy album!
