While he attended high school, Nelly started a hip hop group called St. Lunatics. The group enjoyed local popularity after the release of their single, Gimme What Ya Got.

After a major label failed to come into the picture, he decided to go solo.

A&R Kevin Law signed him to Universal Music Group and told HitQuarters that not many people liked Nelly at the beginning.

Back then, to be a rapper from the Midwest had an unusual aspect. Right when the hip-hop scenes happened around the East Coast, West Coast and the South.

But the guys from the record label took advantage of it and branded him as a star of the Midwest, hoping to inspire pride in the people living there.

Kevin Law and Country from Fo’Reel Entertainment decided to first do a solo song with Nelly before returning to St. Lunatics.

Nelly released his debut album Country Grammar in 2000. The album included singles like E.I, Ride wit Me, and Batter Up.

RIAA certified the album with 9 times platinum in 2004.

In 2002 he released his second album, Nellyville, debuting at #1 on Billboard Top 200 Music Albums.

Other singles included the one with over 7,6 million records sold worldwide, Dilemma featuring Kelly Rowland, as well as Work It featuring Justin Timberlake.

As of 2015, Nelly is the star of his own TV show called Nellyville, which premiered in 2014.

The series, about Nelly’s music and acting career and about raising his four children, airs on BET.

Apart from his music career Nelly is also an actor. His biggest role came in 2005 with the remake of The Longest Yard, starring Adam Sandler and Chris Rock.
