Artist Profile
Nappy Roots
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 first album on Atlantic was 2002's biggest selling hip-hop album, "Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz". The multi-platinum album featured the hit-singles "Headz Up", "Awnaw", and "Po' Folks". The "Awnaw (Remix)" ft Marcos of P.O.D. appeared on Madden 2003. and the follow-up, Wooden Leather, arrived one year later. After several delays, the group released its anticipated album The Humdinger in August 2008; it was the first not to feature R. Prophet, who had left the group to pursue a solo career. Their second album as a quintet, The Pursuit of Nappyness, was issued two years later.
The group has sold over 5 million records, has 2 Grammy nomination, 1 MTV Video Music Award nomination, 2 American Music Award nominations as well as a Soul Train Award nomination.

Come Back Home
Some 5 star production you know what I'm talking about...
You know what I'm talking about
Verse 1
Life's good, but it definitely ain't easy
remember we was kids just nappy head and greasy
Everything was simple, just like we saw on TV
My how time flies quick fast, and 3D
Yesterday was fun, and tomorrow's never promised
Today is the moment that we seize and we squeeze-y
Life is full of choices and opportunities that sometimes hard to come by They knock once and they leave
Like leaves in the fall is when I miss the summer breeze
when the seasons start to change what remains are the trees
we are the same like the birds and the bees
even educated fools find it strange to believe
never mind the truth, it can be as it seems
the answers that we seek are deeply rooted in our dreams
wild things happen usually end in diamond rings
and what often makes us happy leaves one envious and dream
Come on
Chorus
We can make it on our own
We aint got to be alone
Just in case when things go wrong
you can always come back home
Where you’ll always be a star
Doesn’t matter who you are
even when you go to far
you can always come back home
Verse 2
Yall know how it feels when you come from outta town
that for me the smell when the window comes down
Catch up with sport center, let me sit down
walk to the corner and see what went down
never thought id be back on my mama’s couch
love me to death but can’t wait till I get out
john wall he got me thinkin about lexington
downtown let the day, those were the days
Bj insane
Craig sold the glove
Ridin through country roads spittin that flow up
Blocked out west can't tip like we used to tip
Campus PD, got a show so they don't trip
Wizard of Oz on 'em, cleanin' my heels
Kobe at the bottoms , is that real
years ago, I shot my first video
but the way they acting now you just wanna know
Chorus
We can make it on our own
We aint got to be alone
Just in case when things go wrong
you can always come back home
Where you’ll always be a star
Doesn’t matter who you are
even when you’ve gone to far
you can always come back home
Verse 2
Take me back to South Carolina
Outside Clemson leavin out of a diner
We were so drunk but the owners didnt mind us
Plus we gave posters, course we gonna sign em
next stop athens, man i love athens
wake up with a smile like "damn what just happened"
Here in tennessee now passing UT
I love Gattlinburg its good for gettin sleep
stop in Cookville cuz gas was so cheap
met v’s aunt, she cooked us something to eat
cant wait to see the signs for BG
stop by see the old crib on center street
roll somethin up, shed a tear and keep movin
kentucky lake stick real good but we cruisin
call mama up and see whats on the stove
she said no matter where I go I can come home, she told me
Seasons change
I feel like going back to where I came
Just to find out nothing stays the same
these are the good ol' days (2x)
Chorus
We can make it on our own
We aint got to be alone
Just in case when things go wrong
you can always come back home
Where you’ll always be a star
Doesn’t matter who you are
even when you’ve gone to far
you can always come back home
Ad Lib...
Come Back home (x7)
When the world is reaching last
When the frigid turn to blast
When people forget
Come on
Come on
Come on...
