Stockton, California-artist Jhonel Dongon (b. December 2, 1996), better known as MBNel, was one of the first artists to bring attention to Stockton in the late 2010s, and has risen to unbelievable heights in terms of creativity with his sound. He is most known for his crisp lyricism and unique flow on pretty much any beat you could think of.

MBNel is apart of the crip gang Muddy Boyz, and represents 8 Block of South Stockton. He has collaborated with many artists such as Celly Ru, Lil Bean, Mozzy, Slimmy B, EBK Hotboiiz, and is most known for his dynamic-duo counterpart, $tupid Young.

His most recent album “No Hard Feelings” [2021] is a true testament to who he is and has become, throughout the length of his career and life as a whole. With the string of singles released through the entirety of 2022, his next album is most certainly on the way.
