Join us as we welcome Kentucky natives Nappy Roots back to Lexington and celebrate the release of their new album - The Pursuit of Nappyness!

Country and proud of it, Nappy Roots formed in 1995 around a sextet of students attending Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green. Four members of the group were Kentucky natives (Skinny DeVille, B.Stille, Ron Clutch, and Big V), bolstered by a pair of Oakland-born transplants (R. Prophet and Milledgeville). Nappy Roots began making music together at a local record shop-cum-studio named ET's Music, and released their full-length debut, Country Fried Cess, in 1998. Drawn to the group's distinctive twist on Southern bounce, the major labels began flocking, and they eventually signed to Atlantic. Their label debut, Watermelon, Chicken and Gritz, was released in 2002, and the follow-up Wooden Leather arrived one year later. After several delays, the group released its anticipated album The Humdinger in August 2008. The Pursuit of Nappyness hit stores on June 15, 2010. Here's what the band has to say about that:

BRIGHT, VIBRANT, AUTHENTIC, AND SUPER MUSICAL, THE PURSUIT WILL GIVE EVERY NAPPY FAN EXACTLY WHAT THEY NEED..... HIP HOP FOR THE SOUL. WELL BALANCED & FULL OF INSPIRATION, INSIGHT & COMMENTARY FROM THE STREETS OF A SMALL TOWN, THIS ALBUM WILL BECOME A CLASSIC. SINGLES INCLUDE: IM’MA BE ALRIGHT, RIDE, FISHBOWL, KING OF THE TOWN, WINNER TAKE ALL, & PAINT A PICTURE. INCLUDES PRODUCTION FROM SOME OF THE USUAL SUSPECTS (SOL MESSIAH, GROOVE CHAMBERS), SOME FAMILY, (PHIVESTARR, JE’KOB WASHINGTON A.K.A MARTY MCPHLY OF MCPHLY ENT.), SOME A-LISTERS (CHOPS), & SOME NEW BEAT BANGERS (Q.
