His second effort, Nellyville, (2002) was equally successful.
The album spawned three big hits (including 'Ride Wit Me') and three Grammy awards and Nelly became an MTV favorite, recognized by a stylish band-aid on one cheek in the memory of his good friend City Spud, who he collaborated with on 'Ride Wit Me'.
Nelly became a hip-hop and pop superstar after the success of his solo 2000 release, Country Grammar.
