St. Louis is holding down their favorite Hip-Hop sons with keys to the city. Nelly and the St. Lunatics got the honor at Nelly’s Black & White Ball in the Lou.

Nelly had Ashanti, Ne-Yo, Bow Wow, Jermaine Dupri and more on hand. Delivering the honor was St. Louis mayor Tishaura Jones.

“You’ve had an amazing year and an amazing career. I think we can all agree in this room that Nelly has put St. Louis on the map,” Jones said.
