Skinny DeVille Says World Now Ready For Nappy Roots

Skinny DeVille of the Nappy Roots talked with Billboard for the January 19 edition where he talks about the January 26 release of their debut album that’s been shelved for several years. DeVille says, “The world wasn’t ready for Nappy Roots back in ’98, ’99, 2000. The world wasn’t ready to accept a group of guys being country and being nappy, being cool and being humble… Cats are getting tired of hearing the same old s**t – ‘I got this and I got that.’ People want to hear something fresh.”
