River Nelson is an American rapper, singer, songwriter, and producer, who began his recording career when he was signed to Arista Records by label helm Clive Davis. He also hooked up with the then-hot New York rappers the Boogiemonsters to feature on the group’s classic debut Riders Of The Storm: The Under Water Album under the rap name Xtreem. River, who was born in New York City and spent his childhood in Norwalk, Connecticut, has since carved out a respectable following for himself around the world.
