Celly cell, born Marcellus McCarver was born in Vallejo, CA, just a few minutes drive from Oakland. Around the same time that fellow Vallejo legends Mac Dre and Mac Mall were producing music out of the north Vallejo's Crestside neighborhood, Celly Cell along with the Bay Area's creator of slang E-40 began making their marks in the rival South Vallejo Hillside neighborhood. In 1994, 4 years after he had begun to speak his gangster style into the microphone, Heat 4 Yo Azz was realeased on E-40's Sic Wid It Record label. The climax of his career thus far came only one year following that release. Killa Kali was released on the same label and unknowingly was the precursor to his final album with Sick Wid It Records. In 1998 Celly Cel released G'Filez and split ways with E-40's label. One year later he started his own label which he called Realside at the same time releasing the labels first album Deep Conversation. His latest release Slaps Straps and Baseball Caps has brought back the Southside legend right in the middle of the hyphy movement. Skhorpious 02:38, 31 August 2006 (UTC)
