Nappy Roots Listening Session

Grammy Award nominated and multi-platinum-selling rap group, Nappy Roots recently held a listening session to preview their new album, NAPPY DOT ORG which drops 10-11-11 and is produced by Organized Noize

The final product is an album that is equally representative of Nappy Roots and Organized Noize’s respective creative identities, hence the name Nappy Dot Org. It is natural and organic, a melding of free thoughts over cutting edge musical concepts. The album’s sound incorporates everything that has created the South’s musical legacy, from the church organs to the heavy bass.

From the light-hearted “Y’all Party” to the sonically rich “Congratulations,” the album captures an effortless maturity that also appeals to younger listeners. Each of the songs manages to provide it’s own vibe. “Hey Love,” for example, finds Nappy Roots open, emotional and vulnerable in a way rappers are very rarely seen. The song’s honesty and raw emotion are as organic and authentic as any of the other tracks on the album, adding another layer to this well-rounded offering.
