Nappi Devi is an amalgamation of music. He is a rapper who can honest and earnestly sing, and Vice Versa, a jobSInger who can earnestly Rap. Which makes him a hybrid artist. WHich in today’s marketplace can be a blessing and a curse. Only the music loving public can decide which talent they prefer. But, it is a talent that Devi takes in stride. He is a truculent human to begin with. And he manages to be very magnanimous about himself and his talents, as any rapper should be. But it is the honesty and vulnerability in his music that comes thru and connects with his audience The 24 year old performer reminiscent of Drake and Miguel, knows how to engage an audience as he shares the experience with them as if they were in conversation, and his songs are his means of expression and extension of the messages he is trying to convey. And he hits his mark rather liberally. In particular his song “Bad, Bad, Bad” with an easy repetitional chorus that every audience finds themselves singing with him by the songs bridge and helps to further establish a connection between Nappi and the audience. A writer who isn’t afraid to expose his own demons and shortcomings, Nappi uses the confessional method of revelation to seek and secure understanding between him and his listeners. And a rather melancholic ear for music, he chooses beats or compositions that are a very comfortable and uplifting arrangement that is pleasing to the ear as it is grooving to the backside. Coming like common and even Wake over a Soulfully induced groove like his song “Da Juice “ featuring fellow artist JUNii from Better In Black, is a guitar laced groove that delivers at a solid pace. WIth Devi alternately SInging and rapping mid verse throughout the song. A definite groover. Devi is a workhorse who enjoys performing as much as he does recording. His goal is to spread his music around and perform outside the Detroit City limits to grow his audience in 2019 – 20. On another front..NAPPI Devi will be joining forces with JUNii to officially become a duo in the group BETTER IN BLACK..Devi and JUNii are a musical mtch as they both are exceptional writers and rappers and vocalists. This partnership was ordained as their collab on Nappis’s “Da JUICE” was thw fuse that lit the match that led to their team up. Which no doubt will breed very interesting and Soulful results
