Any time polls are done of the best Kenyan Artist punchlines, Nelly's lyrics never miss on the Top 2 Hardest bars in the game & the icing on the cake is he's not Number 2. 'Unataka Lion ama Kitten Kitten, Sura Nakupea Ki Five, Haga Ki- Ten Ki-Ten'. How he comes up with his lyrics is a story for another day.
Nelly, going by his tag line 'Man A BadMan Ting' is a member of trio 'Ochungulo Family' dubbedd one of EA's best music groups. This gang even has a jam 'King Bobi Wine' which featured a hook by D'more in support of Uganda's famous musician cum politician 'Bobi Wine'
Nelly''s entry into the scene started right after high school as a HipHop Artist with the jam 'EveryDay' which had appearances of artists such as 'Chris Kaiga' who both are repping the hood 'Lang'ata'
He later partnered & collaborated with Up & Up Creatives 'Kwenye Hii Masaa' with Chris Kaiga & Stevie Don Dada releasing hit songs such as 'Nashikisha, Kuja Na Mbogi, Mistri Baibe' etc
The groups hiatus came to an end after a seemingly successful year, and thus time was ripe for these guys to go solo, discover themselves and new sounds as they try curve a path for themselves in this hard hitting industry.
. And 'let me tell you Maina' the hard work paid off. NellyTheGoon & Chris Kaiga are ow both A-List Celebrities in the music industry.
After the split, Nelly decided to venture into a more Kenyan sound & feel as the industry was craving for a more Kenyan sound after being tired of hearing Naija music play everywhere even in funerals. Seeing an opportunity, Nelly collaborated with D'more on the track 'Bora Uhai', & later on released 'Krimino' which went viral garnering him his first million views.
After came Naiwake with Benzema & an outro from Dmore and the team was seemingly becoming one, especially since they were neighbors.
The group went on to bless us with jams such as Kaa Na Mama Yako, Dudu, Make Up, Thutha, Aluta etc. Nelly has also collaborated with Carlito, Bussa J, Mkala, Domani Mkadinali, Xray, Magix Enga, Producers Motif & Wes on the Keyz, Khaligraph Jones, Sauti Sol etc
NellyTheGoon has performed one track on LWKY ie Kontrol
