Nappy Boy is an American record label founded by R&B and hip hop artist T-Pain. The label was distributed by RCA Records, formerly by Jive Label Group & currently by Empire Distribution. The label's roster of artists includes Gym Class Heroes front man Travie McCoy, Young Cash and Chayo Nash.
In May 2008, T-Pain announced that he would like to turn Nappy Boy Entertainment into a new business venture which would turn his company digital, by releasing albums and songs online via iTunes. The new venture, Nappy Boy Digital, focuses on albums and songs released as downloads and ringtones, with few physical releases.
Featured in the Nappy Boy logo is the Florida State Capitol representing Tallahassee, Florida, where T-Pain was born.
