 LOS ANGELES (Atlantic Records) - They may be platinum-selling recording artists, but the members of Nappy Roots still hold true to their Kentucky origins. The group attended a Democratic rally last weekend in Louisville with special guest, the Honorable Jesse Jackson. A shared love of music originally brought Nappy Roots together during their days at Western Kentucky University. The group has a history of involvement in political activism, including the completion of a public service annoucement for the PAX Organization's "Speak Up" campaign against weapon-related school violence.
