Nappy Roots celebrate new album release with free Mother's Day concert
BY MELISSA RUGGIERI
It’s been a quiet couple of years for Nappy Roots, who last released “Nappy Dot Org” in 2011.
The group is back with “The 40 Akerz Project,” which takes its name from Nappy Roots’ umbrella group, 40 Akerz.
With production from Atlanta-based 808 Blake of SMKA (aka Blake German), the album features Nappy Roots members Fish Scales and Skinny Deville.
To celebrate the release, the group will headline a free Mother's Day concert at the Historic 4th Ward Amphitheater from 4-8 p.m. Sunday.
Joining Nappy Roots at the Atlanta Jazz Festival Neighborhood Jazz Series are Soul Spin Studios, The Indie Revenge and Alpiar Experiment.
