Hip-GRAMMY-nominated Nappy Roots dropped their latest song, “Blind Faith,” that happens to speak directly to the current turmoil that America is facing. This is the first song from the group’s forthcoming album, “40RTY,” which is set to be released on Sept. 18. In addition to sharing new music monthly, Nappy Roots will also debut beer collaborations with a variety of breweries across the country each month this summer.

“Blind Faith” is a soulful southern perspective about perseverance
during these trying and uncertain times. The song addresses that even though people may be doing “everything right” based on their ‘blind faith,’ nothing is going to improve without a major change. Even though the song was written last year, it seems especially relevant in the current climate. Produced by 808 Blake, the song also features the vocals from newcomer Lando Ameen, as well as original group members Ron Clutch, Skinny Deville, Fish Scales and B. Stille.

“We were amazed at the timing of the country’s current events and the release of our song, but we think that speaks to the importance and timelessness of the movement and our message,” said Fish Scales, one of the founding members of Nappy Roots. “We are excited to share our two passions all summer long: new music and new craft beer.”

The band began experimenting several years ago with their home brewery, Atlantucky, which fermented their passion for microbrewing. The group has now mass-produced numerous beers across the country.

This summer’s craft brew collaborations include:

Good Day IPA - released by Full Circle Brewing (CA) in June


On My Way to GA - released by Cherry Street (GA) in July


Watermelon Chiken & Gritz - released by Against the Grain Brewery (KY) in August


Nappy Goat - released by Scofflaw Brewing Co. (GA) in September


In addition, the group is in the initial stages of developing a reality show that will follow the band as they visit craft breweries in markets they perform to hold “real” conversations and sample regional flavors.

Nappy Roots has been a best-selling hip-hop group since 2002. They have been nominated for two GRAMMY Awards and multiple American Music Award (AMA) and Soul Train Awards. Currently, the band tours 150 days annually and owns a Nappy Roots clothing line.

About Nappy Roots: Life, Liberty and The Pursuit of Nappyness: In an economically recessed climate, Nappy Roots has joined the rest of the nation in trying to understand and work through financial and emotional struggles. No stranger to challenges, this four-man collective from Kentucky tackled their obstacles and, in the process, their self-honest work emerged in form of 5 studio albums and 10 mix-tapes. As usual, Nappy Roots examine our alienable rights, reason, and truth through lyrical originality and voyage.

Since Nappy Roots entered the music scene in 1998, they have remained real, humble, talented guys with inherent, undeniable southern swagger. After the international success of Watermelon, Chicken, & Grits, selling over 3 million albums, the members of Nappy Roots were flying high while still acutely aware of how far it could be to the bottom should they fall. It is that practical and genuine presence of mind that helped them sustain touring as a group these last ten years. Building a vastly loyal fan-base nationwide, fans and friends can be used interchangeably when referring to their army of followers.

For most people, it is normal to only share intimate moments with friends, but for the members of Nappy, it is no different when in their living room, studio, or on stage, as they possess the gift of honesty and deliver that message with charisma. That truthfulness is especially reflected in this compilation inspired and written for this moment in time.

After severing ties with Atlantic Record and going independent, it was inevitable change was his own for solo efforts. Nappy Roots had no choice but to keep it moving and did so as smoothly as possible. As the saying goes, “the show must go on,” and so it has, obstacles included.

With a heavy heart and no major label record deal, Nappy Roots knew they had to remain in pursuit of their destiny and, thus, Nappy Roots Entertainment Group was formed. The members of Nappy Roots were facing foreclosures and a mountain of stress in the jobless economy, but still they remained positive and pushed on, while never forgetting where they came from and what they had accomplished. With fans constantly communicating with the members online and at shows, the guys realized they weren’t the only ones having trouble.

With the release of their tenth mix-tape "SH!T'S BEAUTIFUL" and the departure of Big V from the group, as he left to pursue a solo career, Nappy Roots forges forward. Between touring and recording, the four-man group focuses on consistently putting out quality hip-hop.

A weak man with no vision, no diligence behind the vision, and no faith behind the diligence would have given up, but Skinny Deville, Fishscales, B. Stille and Ron Clutch did, can, and will handle this and more, all in the name of Nappy Roots.
