"LIFE" -- IT IS THESE 5 THINGS COLLECTIVELY THAT WILL MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE-- GOD FIRST, FAITH, RESPECT, ENDURANCE, AND PERSISTENCE WHEN IT COMES TO ANYTHING YOU ARE TRYING TO ACHIEVE, NEVER GIVE UP, THAT IS TRULY THE WAY TO SUCCESS...
Nappy Roots is an American alternative Southern rap sextet that originated in Kentucky in 1995 and is best known for its hit 2002 single "Awnaw (ft. Jazze Pha)". The group consists of Milledgeville, Georgia native Fish Scales and Kentucky natives Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, and Big V. Oakland. California native R. Prophet has recently left the group to pursue a solo career.
"When you think of Nappy, you think raw and untamed," says Nappy Roots member Scales, explaining the hip hop sextet's unique moniker. "But you also think pure and natural." "That's what we are," chimes in partner in rhyme, Skinny DeVille. "Our name signifies our unwillingness to conform with fads. Once the fads die out, you always come back to the roots."
The Scales-composed "Life's a Risk" is equally as ruminating with such Skinny DeVille rhymes as "On the verge of loosing my mind as well as my last nerve/I served my last dime standin' on this crack curb." In this way, the group places you on the frontlines of a future fraught with uncertainty. With production contributions from the likes of Carlos Broady and labelmate Jazze Pha, the album possesses an abundance of tracks sure to secure Nappy Roots among the game's most contemplative thinkers as it also demonstrates their readiness to party crunk with the best of them - as they reveal on the block rattling "N-A-P-P-Y."
However, proving their musical muscle is only part of the challenge for Nappy Roots - there's also the responsibility of holding it down for their often over-looked hometurf. "It's like a plant," says Big V. "If thereýs no light to shine on Kentucky, it won't grow." "We do have a burden on our shoulders because a lot is riding on the success of Nappy Roots," adds Ron Clutch. "But we're not worried. Our music speaks for itself."
