Nelly 5.0 is the upcoming sixth studio album by American rapper Nelly, due for release November 15 , 2010, by Derrty Entertainment and Universal Records.[1][2]

Recording and production

In 2009 Nelly made a public announcement in Las Vegas that he was actually recording a new album in Las Vegas.[3] Then later on 2009, he would tell DJ Semtex that he was planning to release a self-titled album in the first quarter of 2010.[4] In an interview with MTV's Shaheem Reid, the rapper said that he was fuelled by the lukewarm reception of his previous albums to produce something better. "As an artist, you want to wake up every day and feel like you're doing something people don't think you can do. Now I feel like I've been put in that position again, where it's more doubt than expectancy. The doubt is what fuels me, so to speak.". He confirmed two tracks which had been recorded for the album, "Angel Eyes", produced by Play-N-Skillz, and which samples "Bette Davis Eyes" by Kim Carnes.[5]

He said that guests on the album will be Janet Jackson, Diddy, Akon, St. Lunatics and Usher.[6] T.I. will be featuring in a track on the album, called "Dizzy", produced by Smash Factory according to a video in the studio.[7] Actor-singer Jamie Foxx will also be featured on the album.[8] Hoping to recreate the success of their 2002 Billboard chart-topping single "Dilemma," Nelly has also worked with Kelly Rowland for the sequel record to be titled "Gone"[9], produced by Jim Jonsin and written by Rico Love.[8] He has collaborated with actress Taraji P. Henson on a Jermaine Dupri-produced song, However it was confirmed later that Taraji was an able to perform on the record.[10] Other guests making appearances on the album are Plies, Avery Storm[11], Sean Paul, Chris Brown[12], Young Jeezy, T-Pain and The-Dream.[13][14][5]

Title and cover

Nelly announced that the album would be titled Nelly 5.0.[15] The title was inspired by his 2011 Ford Mustang, which also will be on the album artwork.[16] He said, "It's a lot of things, It's also my fifth drop date, It's just the energy of it all, 5.0 was always one of my dream cars.[15]

Singles

The album's lead single "Just a Dream" was released on August 17, 2010, through iTunes[17] along with the second single "Tippin' In da Club".[18] The two songs were released to Mainstream and Rhythm/Crossover radio on August 10, 2010.[19] "Just a Dream" made its first chart appearance, debuting on the US Billboard Hot 100 at number twelve and peaking at number 7 in its third week. The song also debuted at number thirty-eight on Billboard's Pop 100 chart,[20] and debuted at number eight on the Billboard Digital Songs chart, selling 135,000 downloads in its first week.[21][22] "Just a Dream" is Nelly's highest charting song since his 2005 single "Grillz". and debuted at number twenty-two on the Billboard Rap Songs. The song entered the Canadian Hot 100 on August 2010, at number thirty-two[23] It debuted in Australia (ARIA Charts) on the Singles Chart at number twenty-four.[24], in New Zealand Singles Charts at number twenty-nine, and in Switzerland (Media Control AG) at number fifty-two.
