"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."
As for the group's roots, they trace back to Western Kentucky University, 1995. Comprised of the Kentucky-bred Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, and Big V. along with Oakland's R. Prophet and Milledgeville, Georgia's own Scales, the group was drawn together by a simple love of music.
While carving out their own unique niche, the group parlayed their hustling instincts into a number of early entrepreneurial ventures - including the Nappy Roots T-shirts that quickly became the hottest-selling item on the WKU campus. However, their biggest venture came via the local ET's Music record shop (with ET short for ER'Thangs Tight). It was at ET's, which also doubled as a production studio, where the six would musically take shape with each Nappy Roots member bringing their own distinct flavor to the mix. Listen To what's in store with the new interview with Dj King Assassin and The 18 station syndicated Network The MixShow Blast in 2008! Nappy Roots definitely has alot in store.One Love To Beach Bunny for making this all possible to bring you the NAPPY ROOTS!
