Photographer: James White . SWEATSUIT brings together on one album all of the hits from Nelly's dual releases SWEAT and SUIT, both of which went multi-platinum. Cherry-picking the hits from both albums, SWEATSUIT includes the Neptunes-produced infidelity anthem "Play It Off," "Over and Over" with Tim McGraw," and the funky, mid-tempo "Playa," featuring Mobb Deep and Missy Elliott. This "recent greatest hits" set nicely represents Nelly's sultry, sing-songy pop-rap, with its debt to both classic R&B and contemporary hip-hop. Three new tracks, including the single "Grillz" (with guest spots by Paul Wall and Ali), are added bonuses.

St. Louis, Missouri rapper Nelly (of the St. Lunatics clique) dominated MTV and radio in late 2000 with his debut COUNTRY GRAMMAR, which featured irresistible hooks, a danceable tempo, newly styled bounce beats different from the New Orleans-based No Limit output, and, perhaps most importantly, Nelly's own photogenic, confident appeal. Pushing a party atmosphere is nothing new in commercial hip-hop, but Nelly delivered the product with country twang-inflected lyrics full of St. Louis regionalisms, hence "country grammar." The distinctive MC would prove no flash in the pan, notching top-selling albums and radio hits (most notably, the club banger "Hot in Herre") throughout the '00s.
