It all started with an invitation to play at George Clinton's birthday party on July 22, 1998. The brain child of Zack "#9" Roberson, this funky group of young men began this amazing trip together on the stage of the Lion's Den, in the East Village of New York City. Who would have thought some 20 years later, they would still be funking it up!!
Having a direct Mothership Connection, the music is live, in-yo-face FUNK, with an emphasis on the sounds of Parliament-Funkadelic (P-FUNK), Prince, Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, Mother's Finest, and all of the other fathers of FUNK.
Nappy head is a direct seed of George Clinton, Bootsy Collins, and the P-Funk Allstars. Their newest release "what came first? the funkin’ or the egg" was released on all platforms december 2022 as the band amps up music releases and tour dates 2023.
