Bio From Wikipedia
Copywrite (also known as Copywrite 78 and born as Peter William Nelson) is an underground hip-hop artist from Columbus, Ohio. A member of the Columbus crew MHz (or MegaHertz), Nelson emerged from the underground scene in 2002 with his collaboration with producer RJD2 on the track "Holier Than Thou". His debut album The High Exhaulted was released on the Eastern Conference label to some praise, although some felt that RJD2's beats were too dark for Copywrite's persona. His second release, Cruise Control Mixtape: Volume 1, was released on the O.D.O.T. record label in 2004. Copywrite was a member of Cage's rap supergroup the Weathermen, but left after personal disagreements with Cage and Camu Tao.

Most recently, he has released a new mixtape, The Jerk: Volume 0 and appears on the UK rap group Rhyme Asylum's debut album. The Jerk... features guest appearances from Royce Da 5'9", Killah Priest, Catalyst, KingDom, Crooked I, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Thirstin Howl III, Meta4ce Omega, and Jakki Da Motamouth. It also features production from the late J Dilla, Jake One, Rocktight, the late DJ Przm, DR Period, platinum producers Cool & Dre, D-Dot, Needlz, Kickdrums, Chris Scholar, Jay Notes, Mighty Fuzz Young, and more.

Copywrite is currently working on his second official album, "The Life And Times Of Peter Nelson" which is slated to drop sometime in 2009 on Man Bites Dog Records/O.D.O.T. Records. The album will feature collaborations with Sean Price, Royce Da 5'9", Copy's O-Dot crew, and more. Production will come from RJD2, Illmind, Marco Polo, Kount Fif, Jay Notes, and more.

Copywrite is also the grandson of the late singer Skip Nelson (born as Cipriati Maribella) who most notably sang for the Glenn Miller Band in the 1940s.

He has recently come out with two disses to Asher Roth called "The Real Fake Shady (Asher To Ashes)" and, after response track "Silly Boy" from Asher , "Cremation" Produced by DC's Official Beatsmith Surock. It explains how he feels about this "copycat Eminem."
