Nappy Roots - Hey Love
Artist: Nappy Roots
Producer: Organized Noize
Album: Nappy Dot Org
Label: Nappy Roots Ent Group
Nappy Roots just don’t know how to be anything but completely honest. Fresh off their openly candid, Booth-approved last single Congratulations, the Southern soaked quintet wear their hearts on their sleeves…I mean mics on their sleeves…I mean hearts on their mics…whatever, you get what I’m going for…on new single Hey Love. Constant production collaborators Organized Noize lay down an appropriately romantic yet dark beat for emcees Skinny Deville, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, Big V. and Fish Scales to lay down their lyrical meditations on, digging deep into a love that keeps you coming back, even if it’d be better for everyone involved if you just walked away. Throw in a gritty hook from Samuel Christian and you’ve got a record everyone can relate to; or at least everyone who’s actually been in a relationship. Does this slow burner get you in the mood to show the Nappy Roots some love? You’re in luck. Their upcoming album Nappy Dot Org is set to hit our eardrums on September 27 and be sure to catch one of the best live shows around when the DJBooth-presented Nappy Dot Org Tour hits your city.

The great thing about all Nappy tunes is their consistency. They all have a retro, throwback sound that is both comfortable and organic. They never try to do anything outside their zone, to the benefit of their longtime fans (and newcomers). I would have preferred Anthony Hamilton on this hook, but they didn't ask me.

Have yet to hear a song from Nappy Roots that has equaled or topped "Ride" from a couple years, ago. Hopefully that song will come soon.

This is smoking from the roots! Content is right on point with how we all feel at times. The vocal/hook is super catchy. I was hooked on the first set of bars..... MARK THAT A PLAYER.
