Bio: This 21 year old shows his credibility through his straight forward, direct to the brain lyrics and his crowd hyping break ‘ya’neck live performances. This artist/producer/song writer is the all in one total package. Charles ‘C-Rell’ Ellis grew up around the neighborhood streets but was destined not to fall inside of the square. He has seen it all constantly blinking in hopes to miss the violence, the gangs and drugs. But with his confidence and strong will he was able to keep himself away determined not to be another statistic of society. This overweight MC is the ladies lover but with his hip-hop appeal the streets idolize him. C-Rell has opened for great major artist including: Twista, Do or Die, Donell Jones and Pretty Ricky. He has also performed for the city of Rockford mayor program the n-factor. In 2003 he entered in the Best of the Midwest contest held at the Rockford's Midway Theater. Not only did he blow the crowd away but also the judges, taking home the first place prize.
