The group was formed in 1995 and came out with their local hit "Gimme What U Got" in 1997. The group thought it would be easier for Nelly to get signed than the whole group. In 2000 Nelly got signed to Universal Records. Then got the rest of the group signed. While Nelly was working on his solo album Country Grammar, City Spud was arrested and sentenced to 10 years in prison for robbery. After Nelly's breakthrough success in 2000, the St. Lunatics released their debut album Free City (2001), with hits such as "Summer in the City" and "Midwest Swing".
