ARTIST BACKGROUND

About Nelly

Nelly helped bring St. Louis rap to a wide audience with Country Grammar, pairing rhythmic hooks with a delivery shaped by Midwestern speech and Southern bounce. Nellyville followed with Hot in Herre and Dilemma. He also worked within the St. Lunatics and collaborated with Murphy Lee and P. Diddy on Shake Ya Tailfeather. Sweat and Suit broadened his solo catalog, including a country crossover with Tim McGraw on Over and Over.
