St. Nelly-sade was born Nsubuga Nelly-sade in 1988. While at school in 2004, he met a group of friends with whom he formed his first rap group, ''The Hip Hop Gangstarz'' and they genuinely believed they would find stardom one day. Unfortunately, that fell apart when most of the members decided to change music styles as Hip Hop wasn't selling in Uganda.
As Nelly-sade became older, his fascination with Hip Hop grew stronger. His interest in Hip Hop was inspired by Nas, Scarface, Bataka Squad, Juma Nature, Lyrical G and Yung Vibes, who became a stepping stone for his drive for success. Before listening to local Ugandan Hip Hop artists, he was rapping in English, which wasn't sweet in his friends' ears and he was advised to quit the style.
In 2007, he recorded his first duet, ''My Lover'' with A.B Khale, which became a hit on local radio stations in the eastern region of Uganda. After discovering that he was a better rapper in Lugaflow (rapping in Luganda), he joined Hip Hop battles as much as possible. He battled in All School's Hip Hop and RnB Battles presented by Hot 100, Hip Hop Canvas, End of the Weak Mic Challenge Uganda, and one on one battles organised in different areas of Kampala. He also started working at Bonfire Nights held at the National Theatre and attended freestyle fellowships to improve his freestyle skills.
In 2009, he joined Bavubuka All Starz where he became a stronghold in the Luga Flow Hip Hop community. Along with a few of his peers, they emerged from the foundation to form a platform for their future success as The Luga Flow Army.
He soon established himself as a local Hip Hop activist who could not be stopped. He has been instrumental in creating a few of the most legendary pieces of Hip Hop in Uganda, such as ''K'akubiddewa'' which later became a social anthem. Nelly-sade has perfomed on national and international stages including Bayimba International Festival of the Arts, LaBa! Arts Festival, Uganda Hip Hop Summit, as well as performances in South Sudan, Arusha, Tanzania and in various regions all over east Africa.
Nelly-sade has contributed to many projects such as The Hip Hop Canvas album 2009 and 2010, Voices Initiative Uganda, WAPI, Open Mic Night Kampala, End of the Weak Uganda, Spoken Truth and Mic Stand Hip Hop night, which he started in 2011. He was Co-coordinator for the End of the Weak International Hip Hop Festival held in Kampala in 2014. He currently resides as Vice President of the End of the Weak Uganda chapter. He has worked with talented up and coming artists along with a few of the best emcees all over the country including Babaluku, Enygma, Cyno MC, Bana Mutibwa, Lyrical G, Ibraw and Kwesto.
Hip Hop inspires Nelly-sade to make the world a better place through the Luga Flow Hip Hop movement in Uganda. He is staying at the top of the game with The Luga Flow Army and GMC Entertainment together with Lyrical G!
