Performing as Legacy City, the 10-year Army veteran rose in the music industry with the support of family, high school friends and people he went to war with. He is CEO and founder of StreetLigion Productions, which includes a recording studio, television network and radio station. StreetLigion is a mix of the words “street” and “religion.”
Cedric Bellamy’s path to becoming a streaming titan on Spotify wasn’t easy. After serving in the Army, the Operation Iraqi Freedom veteran became homeless during his transition to the civilian world. Music and rapping as the artist, “Legacy City” brought him through his challenges to rise in the music industry.Plaques in his studio are etched with “1,000,000,” the number of streams on Spotify, in gospel, R&B, jazz, reggae, comedy and hip-hop.
It was an accident the first time he showed his skills. He was at a neighborhood block party, called a “Hay Good,” when his older brother challenged him and pushed Bellamy in the center of the crowd. Bellamy, underage, launched a verbal assault that drew roars and cheers. Becoming a professional rapper became his goal.
The Army taught him structure and appreciation for other cultures. He married young, and multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan strained his marriage. Bonds forged in combat became his support network as a civilian.

A historical San Antonio home designed by Lone Star Brewery's architect is now for saleCharles Haarmann paid just $1,000 for a half-acre lot in what's now the King William Historic District. In 1893, he tapped architect Albert Beckmann to design the five-bedroom house now on the market for $2.3 million. Beckmann, who designed commercial and public buildings along with homes for San Antonio’s elite, was a key member of the design team for the original Lone Star Brewing building, which now houses the San Antonio Museum of Art. More residents of Haarmann's one-time home include longtime San Antonio newspaper columnist Rick Casey and the late Christopher Price, a two-time president of the King William Association. From the numerous covered porches on two floors and ornate stonework touches to the extravagant interior woodwork in every room and the grand staircase, the estate feels like a step back in time. An array of stainless steel appliances in the kitchen offers a rare reminder of the current century. The 4,000-square-foot property also features a pool, outdoor kitchen, a dog run and raised garden beds made of limestone. A large workshop and a 900-square-foot apartment are also included in the sale price. This home is listed by Debra Maltz with Kuper Sotheby’s International Realty.
