Country Grammer - Nelly

The 2000 album "Country Grammar" is the debut album by the St. Louis rapper Nelly. He rapper managed to break into audiences across the globe with his debut single "Country Grammar", and from this he decided as the lead member of the rap group St. Lunatics, he should go ahead and go for this alone, with additional collaborations with some of his group in the album.
