M.O.

M.O. is the seventh studio album by American rapper Nelly. It was released through Republic Records on September 30, 2013. A follow-up to his sixth album, 5.0 (2010), the album features guest appearances from Nicki Minaj, Pharrell Williams, Future, T.I., Daley, 2 Chainz, Trey Songz, Fabolous, Wiz Khalifa, Florida Georgia Line, Nelly Furtado and Yo Gotti. The title reflects both Nelly's Midwest roots and his personal nickname, which he found was symbolizing his identity and longevity in hip-hop.

The album received mixed reviews, with critics noting its polished but backward-looking sound that failed to innovate or recapture Nelly's former impact, despite a few strong collaborations. M.O. moderately entered the US Billboard 200, debuting and peaking at number 14. Its lead single, "Hey Porsche", was released on February 19, 2013, and peaked at number 42 on the US Billboard Hot 100. "Get Like Me", featuring Nicki Minaj and Pharrell Williams, premiered online on June 18, 2013, and was released on July 2, 2013 as the album's second single.
