Probably because of Outkasts Sid and Marty Krofft fashion sense and Bubba Sparxxx redneck Eminem persona, countrified hip-hop is usually looked upon as a goof. But the Kentucky-bred Nappy Roots bust the trend. Too clean for dirty South but hard enough for East Compton, theyre anything but corny. Mixing party jams (Roun the Globe) with helium-high Bee Gees samples (Nappy Holiday) and obligatory odes to the female backside (Twang), Wooden Leather has the smooth kick of Southern Comfort.
