By the Numbers
Nelly wrote his own raps on M.O., his first album for Republic Records, working with producers including Pharrell Williams, Detail, DJ Frank E, and the J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. The Pharrell-produced lead single 'Hey Porsche' aimed squarely at pop radio and reached number 42 on the Billboard Hot 100. The guest roster is broad, with Nicki Minaj and Pharrell on 'Get Like Me,' plus Future, 2 Chainz, T.I., Trey Songz, and an early appearance from country duo Florida Georgia Line that foreshadowed his later crossover work.
Nelly's seventh studio album, released October 8, 2013, through Interscope Records and Derrty Entertainment. Pharrell Williams produced four tracks and appeared on three, including the lead single "Get Like Me" featuring both Pharrell and Nicki Minaj. Detail produced three tracks including "Give U Dat" featuring Future. "Rick James" featuring T.I. was also produced by Pharrell. Wiz Khalifa appears on "My Chick Better." Florida Georgia Line appear on "Walk Away," previewing the country crossover direction Nelly would fully commit to with Heartland. The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200.
