Summer Music Series

For 24 years, NELLY has been connecting generations with his exuberant anthems, fusing musical genres, and engaging in multiple entertainment mediums including music, television, and film. The diamond selling, multi-platinum, 3x Grammy award-winning rap superstar, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and actor, Nelly, has continuously raised the bar for the entertainment industry since stepping on the scene in 2000 with his distinctive vocals and larger-than-life personality.

Nelly strives to be a trailblazer and to be the first to make his mark in every category such as being the first hip hop artist to blur the musical genres of Hip Hop and Country with the chart-topping hit Over and Over with Tim McGraw. He was also the first HipHop artist to accompany the most prestigious orchestras including St. Louis, Columbus and Pittsburgh, again blending musical styles and garnering great reviews. Nelly also added sports commentator to his list of accomplishments with Fox Sports which made him one of the first actors with three television shows airing at one time with Fox Sports, his reality show Nellyville and BETs Real Husbands. And who can forget his time in DWTS and his film debut in The Longest Yard. He continues to set records with sold-out tours and appearances across the globe. His newest “first” is his own brand of moonshine, aptly named “MoShine” using the star’s well known nickname “Mo” in the name, which he just launched in April.

Nelly’s music history is lengthy beginning with his solo career in the year 2000, with his commercial debut album Country Grammar, of which the featured title track and the single “Ride wit Me” were top 10 hits. His following album Nellyville produced the number-one hits “Hot in Herre” and “Dilemma” (featuring Kelly Rowland), along with the top five single “Air Force Ones,” With the same-day dual release of Sweat and Suit (2004) and the compilation Sweatsuit (2006), Nelly continued to generate many chart-topping hits. Nelly’s fifth studio album, Brass Knuckles, was released in 2008 producing the singles “Party People” (featuring Fergie), “Stepped on My J’z” (featuring Jermaine Dupri and Ciara) and “Body on Me” (featuring Akon and Ashanti). In 2010, Nelly released the album 5.0. The lead single, “Just a Dream”, was certified triple platinum by RIAA; it also spawned the singles “Move That Body” (featuring T-Pain and Akon) and “Gone” (featuring Kelly Rowland). In 2003, Nelly released a hit single “Iz U” from the soundtrack to Walt Disney’s The Haunted Mansion. his newest album “HEARTLAND,” making Billboard’s top ten Country Album Charts, double platinum certification for “Lil Bit” featuring Florida Georgia Line, “Cruise” being the best-selling country digital song of 2014, “Nellyville” garnering Diamond certification while “Dilemma” marked 1 billion views on YouTube. Nelly’s Country Grammar album, Nellyville album and his song Cruise with FGL have both achieved Diamond status. Nelly has recorded with and performed with other talent such as; Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Kelly Rowland, Florida Georgia Line, Breland, Blano Brown, T.I., and so many more.

“Hot in Herre” continues to be one of the most commercially used songs in history, with Burger King tapping NELLY to be featured in their newest campaign with his personal meal- “Cornell Haynes Jr” and Lays Potato Chips used Nelly and “Hot in Herre” in their latest commercial. Nelly has been a pitchman for iconic brands/campaigns such as Reebok. Got Milk? and the Ford Motor Company, he dressed the Honey Bee for Cheerios and He and the owners of Mike and Ike released a movie trailer titled “The Return of Mike and Ike.”

Nelly performed on last year’s tribute to 50 years of Hip Hop and the music mogul has also left his mark in other aspects of the industry, introducing his hugely successful women’s clothing line, Apple Bottoms. Currently, he supports Make a Wish and provides education surrounding the music industry and provides scholarships for the last 18 years.

I Love the 90s Show

The iconic VANILLA ICE exploded on the rap/pop music scene in 1990/1991, selling 10 million albums in four months and hitting number one on the Billboard charts with the number one single, “Ice Ice Baby,” and number one album positions.

His worldwide album sales are over 25 million, and individual songs total over 160 million and are still selling. Vanilla Ice won two MTV Awards, a People’s Choice Award, and was nominated for a Grammy.

TONE LOC soared from obscurity into pop stardom in 1989 when his hoarse voice and unmistakable delivery made the song "Wild Thing" a massive hit, winning Grammys and countless other awards.

The song “Wild Thing” was co-written by Marvin Young, better known as Young MC, as was the second single smash, "Funky Cold Medina." The album "Loc-ed After Dark" became the second rap release ever to top the pop charts and one of the most popular of all time.

TAG TEAM introduced their debut single "Whoomp! (There It Is)." just prior to the summer of 1993.

Not too long afterward, DC Glenn (DC the Brain Supreme) and Steve Gibson (Steve Rolln) were No. 1 on the Billboard R&B chart and at the top of the Billboard sales chart. They sat atop every global chart for the next two years, and the Denver, Col., natives who relocated to Atlanta, Ga., were on top of the world. They became a familiar force in the music business spanning every continent, bringing a worldwide appreciation of music from the south.

TREACH is the front man of the multi-platinum selling rap trio Naughty by Nature that took the world by storm in the early ‘90s.

Treach worked with fellow group members Vin Rock and DJ Kay Gee. Sometimes he would share verses on songs with Vin Rock, but often, especially on the group’s earlier albums, Treach would be the sole performer on the song. Naughty by Nature pulled off the neat trick of landing big, instantly catchy anthems on the pop charts while maintaining their street level credibility among the hardcore rap faithful, one of the first groups to perform such a balancing act. Discovered by Queen Latifah, Naughty by Nature are probably best known for their massive international hit song, “O.P.P,” which was released in 1991 off their self-titled second offering, “Naughty by Nature.” The song peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart. “Hip-Hop Hooray” was another hit song in which Spike Lee directed the video for the song. The group’s second album also spawned the hit song "Everything’s Gonna be Alright.” The group released their third and fourth albums, both of which peaked at No. 1 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Charts and produced hit singles that kept the group’s popularity high. Their album “Poverty’s Paradise” garnered the group a Grammy Award in 1996 for ‘Best Rap Album.’
