Grammy Award-winning rapper Nelly, Presented by Ecklund Group @Properties in concert at the 175th Walworth County Fair on Friday, August 30th, 2024!
For 24 years, Nelly has been connecting generations with hisexuberant 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’s 2000 album, “Country Grammar,” spent seven weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Top 200 and spawned the hits “Ride Wit Me,” “CountryGrammar” and “E.I.” Nelly won two Grammy Awards after the release of his 2002album, “Nellyville.” The song “Hot in Here” won the Grammy Award for Best MaleRap Solo Performance, and “Dilemma [feat. Kelly Rowland]” won for Best Rap Song Collaboration. Nelly’s collaboration with Florida Georgia Line on the song "Cruise (Remix)” received Diamond status. Nelly is one of just seven rappers to earn this achievement.
“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 performed on last year’s Grammy’s tribute to 50years 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 18years. For more information on Nelly, go to www.realnelly.com.
