Nelly will become the first rapper to drop two albums on the same day, releasing Sweat and another album, Suit on September 14. While he is the first rapper to perform such a feat, Bruce Springstein and Guns ‘n’ Roses also have both dropped two albums on the same day in the past. "I had so much material that at first I thought about releasing a double CD, but then I thought it would be better to release two albums separately to show fans the best of both sides of Nellyville," Nelly said, According to Nelly, the Sweat album has more club oriented offerings, while Suit is more "grown and sexy," along the lines of his hit "Dilemma" with Kelly Rowland of Destiny’s Child. "When I first came out I was representing my city hard," Nelly added. "Now I’m trying to explain so much more. I think both albums show my growth creatively and personally." The lead single from Sweat will be Neptunes produced track "Flap Your Wings," while Suit‘s lead off single "My Place," a re-working of the Teddy Pendergrass hit "Come On And Go With Me." Sweat and Suit are Nelly’s third and fourth studio albums.
