Po' Folks
The Nappy Roots offer a soulful second helping from their gold debut, Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz. Following the success of first smash "Awnaw," the Bowling Green, Ky.-based sextet do it again with "Po' Folks." Big V, Skinny DeVille, R. Prophet, Ron Clutch, Scales, and B. Stille once again represent
the everyday man on this laid-back single. Rhyming about the trials and tribulations that we all go through, Nappy somehow finds a way to make listeners feel that everything will be all right. Laced with a smooth guitar riff and the soulful sounds of singer Anthony Hamilton, "Po' Folks" wonderfully blends elements of soul, gospel, and hip-hop without getting too preachy. Hopefully, urban radio will be quicker to pick up on "Po' Folks" than it was with "Awnaw." Rock fans can look out for the group's first foray into that genre via labelmate P.O.D.'s remix of "Awnaw."—RH
