WHAT’S THE BIDNESS???

Nappy Roots’ sincere southern conscious approach has, for over a decades ed them as one of the South’s most successful and respected Hip-Hop groups. After years of performing around the world, scoring movie sound t racks, along with multi-media projects, and receiving major music

industry award recognition with both Grammy and MTV award nominations as well as a Soul Train award nomination, the group topped the charts with platinum and gold albums “Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz”, which included the hits (“Awnaw”, “Po’ Folks”, and “Headz Up” ) and Wooden Leather” spawning hits such as (”Roun’ the Globe and Sick & Tired”). These Kentucky based country fellas still manage to maintain the creative formula that has paying off for years; 1-part honest music mixed with 2-parts southern swagger.

The end result: Classic Music. August 5, 2008, welcomes their highly-anticipated third album, The Humdinger is set to be yet another Nappy Roots classic. As the title suggests, “The Humdinger” is indeed, “extraordinary” and represents global Hip Hop Nappy Roots have come a long way from their humble beginnings at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Kentucky but ‘Ain’t Nuthin’ Changed’!!! Nappy Roots continue to convey three things sorely lacking in rap nowadays: sincerity, passion and consistency. Not to mention ferocious beats! Remaining true to their roots, the album remains loyal to fans by incorporating “Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz” with “Wooden Leather” to make an album of honest southern conscious tunes to ride to.

With over sixty minutes of n-on-stop hip – hop, The Humdinger” successfully manages to peg each member’s unique personality and harmonious ow with timeless hooks, which qualif ies them as inventive, socially, and politically conscious musicians with southern packaging. They are the yin and the yang: complementary opposites. “The Humdinger” takes you across vast Southern realities with songs like “Down and Out” “Flex “and Kalifornia Dreamin’” that paint realistic images of people dealing with everyday life. Then there arerecords like “Who Got It, Where’s It At” and “Good Day” that are simply all about good music.

at its best. To the streets’ anticipation,” forThe Humdinger ” is blazing, and it’s August ‘08 release can’t come soon enough! Partner in rhyme Skinny DeVille promises that the album will be “some of the most honest music you can nd anywhere.”
