Nelly's distinctive Missouri twang set him apart in the rap scene of the 2000s, dominated by coastal and Southern influences. Born Cornell Iral Haynes Jr. in Austin, Texas, in 1973, Nelly leveraged his outlier status, blending hip-hop with other genres throughout his career. His debut album, 2000's "Country Grammar," introduced his melodic rhymes, notably on the title track. "Nellyville" in 2002 solidified his mainstream presence with hits like "Hot in Herre" and "Dilemma" with Kelly Rowland. He further explored diverse sounds on "Sweat" and "Suit" in 2004, including a collaboration with Tim McGraw. Nelly's boundary-crossing paved the way for artists like Lil Nas X.
