Nappy Roots
is your favorite platinum-selling American alternative southern rap group that originated in Kentucky in 1995 and is best known for hits such as; “Awnaw (ft Jazze Pha),” “Round Da Globe,” and “Po Folks.” Nappy Roots has accomplished so much early on in their careers with their first two album releases “Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz” and “Wooden Leather.” They were the number one selling hip-hop group in 2002, as well as won various award nominations. The group consisted of Milledgeville, Georgia native Fish Scales, Kentucky natives Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, Big V and Oakland, California native R. Prophet. The once major-label sextet is now a quintet running Nappy Roots Entertainment Group (known as NREG), their own record label. After the release of “Wooden Leather” the group decided to depart from Atlantic Records for various reasons including the record label’s politics. Sometime after that R. Prophet decided to leave the group in order to pursue his solo career.
