Da Nappy Headz Im Nappy (1994 Polydor Records)
1994 Polydor, Polygram. Da Nappy Headz (not to be confused with Nappy Headz from Florida a decade later) hailed from Danville, Illinois and landed a record deal (albeit a shortlived one) in an atypical fashion via Oprah WInfrey As reported about six years ago in the group s hometown Commercial News In November 1993, the groups managers took the singers to Chicago to attend an Oprah Winfrey taping. They were sitting in the second or third row, not knowing what was about to happen. Not seen by the audience, Winfrey was telling the TV audience: Weve got some good news. When the show resumed, a representative from Polydor Records surprised the group with a music contract, and they came onstage for that, completely in shock. Oprah looked at us and said, What did you think you were here for Mason recalled This single I m Nappy is the only official release on the group s Discogs page.
