Hell Rell

by David Jeffries Born and raised in the Bronx, rapper Hell Rell is a member of the Diplomats crew who made his solo debut in 2006 with the mixtape Streets Wanna Know. Rell's solo career was delayed a couple years by a two-year jail sentence on drug charges, although he was still able to contribute to the 2004 Diplomats album Diplomatic Immunity, Vol. 2 by rapping into his jail house phone. In 2007 he signed with the Koch label and began working on his proper debut, 4 da Hell of It.
