Nappy Roots - Imma Be Alright
Artist: Nappy Roots
Producer: Je'kob Washington [for McPhly Ent.]
Album: Pursuit of Nappyness
Label: Nappy Roots Ent Group
Those who follow the Nappy Roots’ know that the Kentucky natives started as an independent group during the late ‘90s, rising to fame on the strength of their storytelling abilities and their funky sound. Fresh off a short hiatus following their third album, The Humdinger, the Roots have stockpiled more than enough ammo to break back into the scene. Their fourth album, The Pursuit of Nappyness, will be their second since moving from Atlantic to NREG/Fontana/Universal, and, judging by lead single Imma Be Alright, they’re still perfectly happy with their new digs. With an uplifting message, intelligent lyrics, and an infectious, Je’Kob Washington-produced beat, this is a feel-good jam that’ll satisfy Nappy devotees and new fans alike. The Pursuit of Nappyness is scheduled to drop in the first quarter of next year; if this cut is any indication, the set will have fans feelin’ Alright well into 2010

 I think we'd all be "Alright" if we had a little more Nappy in our everyday lives. The Humdinger has to be (sadly) one of the most slept on albums in recent memory. This picks up where that project left off... the common thread, of course, being good music.

Its Nappy Roots which means you know you’re listening to good music to get you through your hard times ... This is hip hop’s country-soul at its best, from production to hook to lyrics. The notion of enduring drama and hardships but still seeing silver linings in the sky is brought out extremely well through the soulful hook and in the lyrics of each member of Nappy Roots ... BANGER!!!

i've always been a fan of Nappy Roots because they are one of the few groups that you can truly & honestly feel connected with in what seems to be a daily struggle of pain & pleasure through life. the listener is meant to feel like family, as if these are your cousins and they're coming to you to release and vent. a comforting connection that i think is hella slept on and that's ashame.
This is most definitely a feel good track. Banger, without a doubt. |

I like it! Nappy is Nappy and is always good. They keep it real and are who they are. Hope they don't change their style as it is what makes them different.

Everytime I wanna check out the hits now, I don't head to Rap.. Hip-hop... it's straight to the underground, I can always find sooo much more, that will juz seal my mind straight away. I never knew of K. Sparks, XV, Wale & Young Son a year ago, but now they are huge influences on me and people I look to for escape routes. Awsum song Nappy Roots.
