Nappy Roots feat. Trinidad James – Chitlin Circuit [Video]
“Chitlin Circuit” sounds like a Southern time capsule, and the video leans all the way into it.
Nappy Roots and Trinidad James post up in juke joints, roadside spots and backroom stages, turning the old chitlin’ circuit idea — grinding through small venues in Black America — into a celebration instead of a history lesson.
808 Blake’s beat is all dusty swing and bass-line strut, giving Nappy Roots room for laid-back, country-wise flexes while Trinidad James comes through in full gold-dripping narrator mode, bridging nostalgia and right-now energy.
Tight, soulful and proudly regional, the “Chitlin Circuit” video plays like a reminder: the South never stopped cooking — you just had to know which backroad to take.
