    The Man Behind Lil Ru’s “Nasty Song” Speaks on BMF, Big Meech & Carolina Music History

    Kevin “Lil Bo” Nelson, Founder & CEO of Head Hunter Records, sits down with @JermLife on MDN Network for a real conversation about Carolina music history, street lessons, the early 2000s music scene, and how Big Head Hunter Records helped shape a movement. In this episode, Lil Bo talks about his life before the music business, being around Atlanta during the Big Meech/BMF era, bringing game back down to the Carolinas, starting his record company, and working with artists who made noise across the region and beyond. This conversation touches on the history behind artists and records connected to the Carolina movement, including Lil Ru and “The Nasty Song,” “Don’t I Look Good,” Lil Brod “Do You Mind, Colard Greens, “Everybody Looking,” and the rise of regional hits that helped open doors for the new generation of Carolina artists. Before today’s spotlight on artists like Trap Dickey, the Carolinas had a real foundation being built by independent labels, street promoters, artists, DJs, and entrepreneurs who were moving records before social media made it easy. This is more than a podcast. This is Carolina music history. Presented by Buck TV+ and MDN Network.
