Nelly - Brass Knuckles
|  | | Nelly | | Brass Knuckles is Nelly's fifth studio album which was due to be released on October 16, 2007, but later changed to November 13, 2007. Nelly explained the reasoning for the title as "the best way" he can explain "how hard it's going to hit you".
The first single was believed to be "Cut It Out" which features Pimp C and Sean P but was later confirmed to be "Wadsyaname", which was released digitally on August 21, 2007. The album will also feature fourteen tracks as reported by USA Today.
Nelly has a range of featured guests lined up for Brass Knuckles, with appearances from Akon, Avery Storm, Babyface, Chuck D, Lil Wayne, Pimp C, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, and T.I. all confirmed. Jermaine Dupri also stated possibilities of hopeful collaborations with Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson.
Dupri gave a look into the two collaborations, one being Nelly, Carey and Jackson all appearing on the same track, in which he stated Nelly has laid the following blueprint: "Nelly's got a crazy collaboration he's trying to put together, which is him, Janet and Mariah Carey all on one song. That's what he wants. If he could convince them to do it, it would be crazy. He wants Janet to rap a 16-bar verse, he wants Mariah to sing the hook and he's gonna do two verses. He has it all planned out. You ask him about it! This is what he wants; he's 100-percent deadlocked into it."
More production will come from Bryan Michael Cox, Neff-U and Pharrell, among others. (Hip Hop Galaxy) See also:
