Album Review: Nappy Roots - "Nappy Dot Org"

By Hardcore Critic
Hip Hop Vibe Staff Writer

On their latest album, Nappy Roots returned as if they never left. Nearly a decade has passed since their original run on the top of the charts. On their latest album, Nappy Roots continued the "country boy" theme they originated in 2002.

However, on Nappy Dot Org, Nappy Roots was not alone. They recruited Organized Noize to be a part of their album. Together, all the artists recorded eleven unforgettable tracks. Those who are searching for lyrical hip hop will be a bit disappointed.

While lyrical ability is not a selling point for Nappy Dot Org, creativity is. Organized Noize has long been one of the most-creative figures in hip hop. Their creativity paired with Nappy Roots' unforgettable "country boy" sound created one of 2011's most-memorable albums. Nappy Roots delivered "real rap" on their latest album, which makes it a must-listen.

Hip Hop Vibe's Rating: 7/10
