By the Numbers
Nelly wrote his own raps on 5.0, building the album around a pop-rap sound shaped by producers including Dr. Luke, Jim Jonsin, The Runners, Polow da Don, and Rico Love. The Dr. Luke-produced 'Just a Dream' became the centerpiece, reaching number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and giving the album its biggest crossover moment. Guests span Kelly Rowland on 'Gone,' plus Keri Hilson, T-Pain, Akon, Chris Brown, and T.I., keeping the record firmly in radio-pop territory.
Nelly's sixth studio album, released November 16, 2010, through Universal Republic Records and Derrty Entertainment. The lead single "Just a Dream" reached number three on the Billboard Hot 100 and became his biggest hit in years, spending twenty-four weeks on the chart. "Move That Body" featuring T-Pain and Akon was produced by Dr. Luke and Bangladesh. The album leaned heavily on the Rico Love and Jim Jonsin production partnership, with the pair co-producing or co-writing seven tracks. Kelly Rowland returns on "Gone" and Keri Hilson appears on "Liv Tonight," produced by The Runners. Nelly co-wrote all lead tracks.
