November 16th will see the release of Nelly’s 5.0, Nelly’s sixth studio album and his first album in over two years. The title of the LP is apparently a reference to various things in The St. Louis emcee’s life. He explained 5.0 to Rap-Up.com like this, “It’s a lot of things. It’s also my fifth drop date. It’s just the energy of it all. [The Mustang] 5.0 was always one of my dream cars.”
The Derrty Entertainment CEO has been working on the record since 2009 and speculation abounded about what 5.0’s final track list would look like as well as who would be collaborating with the St. Lunatic this time out. Now those details have come to light and the guest list is impressive. The album will feature appearances by Birdman, DJ Khaled, Chris Brown, T.I., Plies, Diddy, Kelly Rowland, T-Pain and Akon.
The full length’s first single, “Just a Dream”, was released in August and peaked at number 7, Nelly’s highest placing single in 5 years. The record’s newest single, “Move That Body”, dropped last week and features Akon and T-Pain. (October 25)
