On November 2, 1974, Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. was born in Austin, Texas. His father was a member of the Air Force when Nelly was born. When he was seven years old, his parents got a divorce, and he moved to St. Louis, Missouri.
When Nelly was a teenager, he joined forces with his half-brother City Spud, buddies Ali, Murphy Lee, Kyjuan, and Slo’Down to form the St. Lunatics. The single “Gimme What Ya Got,” released by the adolescents in 1997, was a local hit.
After the St. Lunatics failed to land a record deal, Nelly made the decision to start his solo career.
Nelly signed a record deal with Universal Music in 1999. He released his debut album, “Country Grammar,” the following year. This is still Nelly’s best-selling album to date.
The album was supported by singles such as “Ride Wit Me” and “Country Grammar,” both of which charted in the top ten. “Nellyville,” his second album, was released in June 2002.
The number-one singles from this album were “Dilemma” and “Hot in Here.” In 2004, Nelly released the album “Sweat and Suit,” followed by Sweatsuit in 2005.
“Brass Knuckles,” Nelly’s fifth studio album, was released in September 2008. Nelly released his album “5.0” in 2010.
