Four associates of the group had been Kentucky natives (Skinny DeVille, B. Stille, Ron Clutch, and Big V), bolstered by an Oakland transplant (R. Prophet) along with a Milledgeville, Georgia indigenous (Fish Scales). Nappy Root base began producing music jointly at an area record shop-cum-studio called ET’s Music, and released their full-length debut, Nation Fried Cess, in 1998. Attracted to the group’s exclusive twist on Southern jump, the major brands began flocking, plus they ultimately authorized to Atlantic. Their label debut, Watermelon, Poultry and Gritz, premiered in 2002, as well as the follow-up, Wooden Leather, showed up one year later on. After many delays, the group released its expected recording The Humdinger in August 2008; it had been the first never to feature R. Prophet, who experienced remaining the group to pursue a single profession. Their second record being a quintet, The Quest for Nappyness, was released two years afterwards. Their fifth work, 2011’s Nappy Dot Org, was a cooperation with famed Atlanta creation group Organized Noize. While they released a mixtape in 2012 entitled Nappy Root base Presents Sh!ts Beautiful, the group wouldn’t normally come back until 2015 using the discharge of record six, The 40 Akerz Task.
