Nelly 5.0
Nelly
St. Louis Rap star, Nelly is getting ready to return to the music world once again after a long absence of two years. Some may even argue that it was even longer than that, or at least it feels like it. His previous album, Brass Knuckles was pushed back and delayed so many times, that when the album was finally released in 2008 it only made a short splash on the scene with the digital single, “Party People” featuring Fergie. The album eventually came out quietly, selling only 80,000 copies its first week and soon dropping off the chart. With all that said, this means Nelly has not been able to have a big hit since the ones on his Sweat/Suit double album of 2004.
Since then however the music industry has undergone some very dramatic changes. in today’s market place, so the question is, can Nelly do it again? Well it certainly looks like he is working to answer the question the best way possible. Nelly, the man who brought us all the songs like “Hot In Herre”, “Dilemma” and “Over And Over” is in the process of earning his spot back at the top of Hip Hop and Pop music.
He is doing this with, Nelly 5.o . his 5th studio album, (6th if you count 2004’s Sweat and Suit as separate projects) The new album was recorded all through 2009 and part of early this year. Despite originally intending to release it at the beginning of 2010, it was delayed due to the fatal shooting of Nelly’s cousin, Michael Johnson in Missouri.
As of now Nelly 5.0 is due in stores on September 21st of this year from Derrty/Universal Motown Records Group. All tragedies aside Nelly is expected to do what he does best, creating fun loving Pop/Rap that you can dance to with just a little edge to his flavor. Last year when Nelly began mentioning details for Nelly 5.0 he mentioned that confirmed tracks for the album include “1000 Stacks” featuring The Notorious B.I.G. and Diddy. as well as “Angel Eyes” featuring Akon. Production on the album will be from the likes of The Neptunes, Polow Da Don, Jermaine Dupri, J.R. Rottem, Play -N Skills, Rico Love, Dr. Luke and others. The first single has been confirmed to be “Tippin’ In The Club”, A hot dance track in only the way Nelly could do it. Take a listen to some of the songs from the album!
