For more than two decades, Nelly has been one of music’s most recognizable and versatile superstars. A three-time Grammy Award winner and Diamond-selling artist, he exploded onto the scene in 2000 with Country Grammar, launching an era of crossover dominance that reshaped hip-hop. The title track and “Ride wit Me” became instant classics, but it was 2002’s "Nellyville" that solidified his legacy, producing No. 1 hits “Hot in Herre” and “Dilemma” (featuring Kelly Rowland), along with the smash “Air Force Ones.” Nelly has collaborated and performed with an expansive list of global stars including Taylor Swift, Justin Timberlake, Janet Jackson, Florida Georgia Line, and T.I., further cementing his reputation as a genre-blending innovator. He also performed as part of the Grammy Awards’ tribute to 50 Years of Hip Hop, underscoring his lasting impact on the culture. With sold-out tours, iconic brand partnerships, and a catalog that continues to resonate across generations, Nelly remains a defining force in music. From St. Louis to the world stage, his high-energy performances and timeless hits prove that his influence isn’t just nostalgic—it’s enduring.

The Democratic Republic of Congo's Ebola outbreak is spreading at an unprecedented pace, Africa CDC warns.

In 2025 there was a lot of news. Here’s a roundup of some of the biggest stories the KPBS newsroom followed.

On March 28, Sound Praxis presents an evening of duo and solo improvised music featuring bicoastal percussion duo Ben Rempel & Justin Gunter, Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío, and 1515 (Ryan Ebaugh & Jonathan Piper). This presentation is generously hosted by the Brown Building in City Heights! Justin Gunter and Ben Rempel are percussionists based in NYC and LA. Having met in music school, they’ve reunited to form a percussion duo rooted in their wide-ranging shared musical interests. In a style that feels organic and intuitive, their music combines free improvisation, complex rhythmic composition, minimalism, classical percussion sensitivity, and a sensibility for groove. As an improviser, Ana Luisa Díaz de Cossío is drawn to the quiet thresholds of daily life. She works with the mundane and the overlooked, with found materials and unstable textures, allowing sound to emerge from what is already present. De Cossio is interested in micro-gestures: sounds that crack, bend, fray, dissolve. Sounds that feel provisional, alive. Improvisation is at the center of her work not as a technique, but as a way of being, as an act of care and commitment to presence, to responsiveness, to the unknown. 1515 is a collaborative duo of Jonathan Piper (tuba) and Ryan Ebaugh (sax). They incorporate extended techniques and idiosyncratic approaches to their instruments in a fresh blend of spontaneous interaction, skill, and innovation.
