Rap-Up.com || Nelly Plans New Album for This Year

Nelly is already on to the next. The St. Louis rapper revealed that he is working on a follow-up to last year’s 5.0 and is eyeing a release for later this year.

During a visit to the “Today” show to promote his fitness DVD series Celebrity Sweat, Nelly broke the news. “I’ll hopefully have a new album coming out at the end of this year. I’m going back in,” he told hosts Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb. “The last album 5.0 was phenomenal—‘Just a Dream,’ 4 million and things.”

He hinted at a potential out-of-the-box pairing like his hip-hop-meets-country record “Over” with Tim McGraw. “Hopefully, I have something real big planned. I don’t want to give it away,” he added.

One collaboration he will talk about is Keri Hilson’s “Lose Control.” The two recently shot a video for the song, which is the next single from Keri’s sophomore album No Boys Allowed.

I hope he doesn’t work with Dr. Luke again, ‘Move That Body’ was a disaster!

I can’t wait. ’5.0′ was by far his best album to date. It was a nice blend of hip hop, R&B and pop. I’ll buy anything from my fellow St. Louisan and he is too sexy!

@Lisa, 5.0 was his best album ? U crazy or what ? Obviously you haven’t heard Country Grammar and Nellyville. 5.0 was just OK. Problem is i know he can spit good rhymes, but he don’t wanna make tracks like he did on C.Grammar anymore. He’s too pop nowadays. But imma cop it…

haha sorry nelly doesnt do the wack ass rap style u haters are prolly into with no lyrics xept the same ones thats in every other song,, nelly is an innovator he tries all different styles and flows and is actually intelligent yall are straight retarted and yeh 5.0 was no where near wat Cgrammer or nellyville was and in my opinion he shoud go back to that style but yall are stupid thats my point

i have to say 5.0 wasnt his greatest album… with only a couple good songs. Nelly should make more like “sweat and Suit” those were his best albums to date.
