A Nappy Day at BMI

Members of mega-selling hip-hop group Nappy Roots stopped by the New York office recently to visit with BMI executives. The Grammy and American Music Awards-nominated sextet has just released their sophomore album, Wooden Leather, the follow-up to their platinum-plus Atlantic Records debut Watermelon, Chicken & Gritz.

Pictured in the BMI New York office are BMI's Wardell Malloy, Nappy's R Prophet, BMI's Erica Tompkins, Nappy's Scales, Ron Clutch, B. Stille and Big V, and (kneeling) Nappy's Skinny Deville and band manager Kevin Mitchell. photo: Dana Rodriguez
