In this clip, Ali explained how Nelly's solo career took off. Nelly was initially part of the St. Lunatics group, but his talent caught the attention of two music professionals from Harlem, one of them being former Mase manager Cudda. Cudda decided to work with Nelly alone, creating a demo album of just Nelly's verses. When this demo reached Universal, a deal was secured. Ali revealed that Nelly didn’t involve the group in his decision to go solo.
