River Nelson

River Nelson began his recording career when he was signed to Arista Records by label helm Clive Davis.[1] He also hooked up with then hot New York rappers Boogiemonsters to feature on the group’s classic debut LP Riders Of The Storm: The Under Water Album." Brooklyn-based MC River Nelson has since gone on to carve out a respectable following for himself around the world.

Nelson has toured with rappers Common and Talib Kweli, as well as singer Kelis. He has also been featured on BBC radio, as well as London Pop stations such as 1Xtra, and has been played and supported by Gilles Peterson.

Nelson has released "The Rise and Fall of River Nelson" and "The Shape of The Sky,"[2] both produced by Lewis Parker. Then in 2016 he released his third LP "How To Dream" [3] under the record label Other Stuff Entertainment. The "How To Dream" album received immediate critical acclaim, plus, national radio play and was named BBC Radio 6 Music's Album of the Day[4] on Sept 5, 2016. Nelson also released the EPs "While We're Young" and "Once We're Old" in 2011 with UK producer Bias.[5] Both have sold successfully around the globe.

On Friday, June 14, 2019 River released his fourth solo album "Power, Resilience & Joy," which [6] Gigslutz said is "Lyrically rooted within brutal honesty" and a "True testament to the effective usage of story-telling."
