Fish Scales takes us back to Milledgeville, Georgia, where he started writing rhymes around age nine and became known early as "the kid who raps." From there, he shares how basketball took him to Western Kentucky University, where he eventually connected with the members who would become Nappy Roots. What started as college parties, cyphers, and a shared love for hip-hop became one of the most recognizable Southern rap groups of their era. The conversation explores how Nappy Roots landed a major label deal, what changed after leaving Atlantic Records, and how the group found its footing as an independent act. Fish Scales opens up about the hard years, including long gaps between albums, family sacrifices, financial strain, and the moments when quitting felt like a real option. But through brotherhood, faith, and a belief that "it gets hardest right before it gets good," the group kept moving. Jeremy and Fish Scales also discuss The Stix Mixtape, Nappy.org with Organized Noize, the evolution of the group's sound with 808 Blake, and how songs like "Good Day" helped extend the life of Nappy Roots in powerful ways. The episode then moves into the group's unlikely and brilliant second lane: craft beer. Fish Scales shares how beer became part of the Nappy Roots identity, how brewery culture connected naturally with their audience, and how that path eventually led to Atlantucky Brewing. This episode is about staying the course, trusting the brand you have built, and finding new ways to create long after the first dream comes true. Fish Scales' episode traces the arc from childhood rhymes and WKU cyphers to Nappy Roots' independent run and Atlantucky Brewing, with key moments around "Country Fried Sess," "Good Day," Organized Noize, 808 Blake, and the group's craft beer lane.
