Nelly is a man who could singlehandedly soundtrack a whole evening of Pryzm’s top floor, such is the continued crossover appeal of the rapper who first emerged into the limelight at the turn of the millennium. With tracks as multiple and varied as ‘Dilemma’, ‘Ride Wit Me’ and ‘Hot In Here’, he had successfully carved out longevity before he released his third album.

 

Not one to rest on his laurels or retreat into the landscape, he has dutifully forged on in the pursuit of music, crafting a further four albums after 2004’s Sweat. While the prospect of an eighth album continues to hang in the balance, the rapper has released several new tracks recently, proving that he remains at the top of his game.

 

On the 17th November, he will swing through the South West for an evening at Bristol’s O2 Academy as part of his latest UK tour – and one of the biggest to date.

 

Tickets, priced at £31.45, are available here. To see a full list of gigs at the O2 Academy, click here.
