Rolling Stone (3/14/02, p.71) - 3.5out of 5 stars - "...A backyard party of layered, funky tunes brought to life with down-home instrumentation....finger-lickin' good and good for you."

Spin (4/02, p.118) - 8 out of 10 - "...Nappy celebrates their roots with mad vernacular and name-check regional cuisine endelssly....The New Jack production is gutbucket fusion buoyed with Cash Money bounce..."
Entertainment Weekly (3/1/02, p.80) - "...They rap fast. And they have a zany sense of humor....leans toward mother-ship funk...[but] has more soul..." - Rating: B
Q (8/02, p.130) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Unashamedly brilliant..."
Vibe (4/02, p.166) - 4 discs out of 5 - "...Charming and folksy....They refreshingly manage to capture the optimism of great soul music, and the pain, too."
NME (Magazine) (6/15/02, p.30) - 6 out of 10 - "...They prove to their city slicker peers that you can have cutting-edge production while sounding like you record within spitting distance of a chicken coop. Lyrically self deprecating, they ignore rap's more tedious obsessions..."

Title Note

Nappy Roots: Big V, Ron Clutch, Fishscales, R. Prophet, B. Stille, Skinny DeVille.

Additional personnel includes: Jazze Pha, The Bar-Kays.

Producers include: James "Groove" Chambers, Mike City, Carlos "Six July" Broady, Trackboyz, Brian Kidd.

"Po' Folks" was nominated for the 2003 Grammy Awards for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration.

This six-strong hip-hop crew may hail from the country, but don't expect to hear Nelly Revisited or Bubba Sparxxx Reduxxx from Nappy Roots. They manage to combine their organic, Kentucky vibe with sophisticated, urban-oriented narratives and beats convincingly enough to make you think you might have stumbled upon a fresh hip-hop paradigm with WATERMELON, CHICKEN & GRITZ. From the combination of angular, street-smart production and country-boy portraiture on "Ballin' on a Budget" to the driving, R&B-flavored social consciousness of "Slums," Nappy Roots consistently prove themselves fully capable of digging into their middle-American milieu without abandoning high-quality production or cutting edge beats. Don't let the hick album title fool you, these guys know which end is up.
