Nappy Roots - No Static ft. Greg Nice
Artist: Nappy Roots
Producer: Sol Messiah
Album: The Humdinger
Label: Nappy Roots Ent Group
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.
This song first appeared on the
Rap Chart

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!

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!
