Buffalo B. Stille of the Grammy nominated group Nappy Roots dropped out of college to follow his dreams of music. He promised his mother he would finish his degree and did so in 2019. Because he believes strongly in education, Stille, a Louisville native, signed on to help promote the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship. The scholarship pays for up to 60 hours of college tuition for those who qualify.
In addition to discussing the scholarship, Stille will make an announcement about his music during the press conference.
