Only moments away from the release of their long-awaited album The Humdinger (Available August 5th), Nappy Roots are sending a lil’ Cali breeze your way to get your blood flowing ﾖ a special Dubcnn download of their grind-it-out song “Kalifornia Dreamin,'” featuring the stunning vocals of Slick and Rose and produced by the chart- topping Sol Messiah (Chamillionaire, Jay-Z, David Banner).
With a parallel message as in their escalating hit radio single “Good Dayﾔ and the street buzz anthem ﾓNo Static,ﾔ and following the same laid-back, down-home Kentucky feel as their entire Humdinger album (Fontana/Universal, RBC Records, N.R.E.G), ﾓKalifornia Dreaminﾔ puts a clever twist on grandmama’s wise adage ﾖ ﾓWhen all the chips are down, what we gonna do now?ﾔ — and drops connotations toward their own difficult battles and personal struggles, including their previous label situation with Atlantic Records.
This moving single makes me want to roll one up, let my top back, hit repeat and cruise down the Pacific Coast Highway, ridinﾒ out into the open sky until the sun sets on the west shoreline.
Seasons change, but this five-man group of superior bluegrass-pushinﾒ emcees has proved that no amount of static can keep ﾑem Down ‘n Out — theyﾒre welcoming the new season and Kalifornia Dreamin’.
Be sure to pick up The Humdinger, in stores everywhere!
