Release date push down - 27/05/2004

Nelly fans will have to wait a little longer for the two albums he's releasing simultaneously this year, but for now the rapper can at least offer up names for the discs, and soon he'll drop a first single from each.
Sweat will be the title of the grittier of the two discs, which is said to have songs for the clubs, the bedroom and the streets a la "Hot in Herre" and "Air Force Ones." And since the last time Nelly really busted out big-time was with P. Diddy and Murphy Lee on "Shake Ya Tailfeather," it's only right that he has a new set of instructions for his flock. Sweat's first single is called "Flap Your Wings" and features the production handiwork of the Neptunes.
Nelly's second LP in the double-dose offering has been christened Suit, and it's described as the more melodic of the discs, somewhere in the vein of songs like "Pimp Juice." Nelly has his pimp juices flowing on the lead cut from the album, a track called "My Place." The song is a hip-hop take on Teddy Pendergrass' 1979 baby-making ditty "Come Go With Me." Fittingly, Jaheim, who's drawn comparisons to Pendergrass, will be singing, "Come on and go with me, come on over to my place."
Nelly will shoot videos for both singles in the next couple of weeks. Sweat and Suit, now due September 14, had originally been slated for August 17

Group claims he stole their name for his clothing line - 01/05/2004

It seems two members of a Florida based music group has no problem being vocal about Vokal, the multimillion dollar clothing line backed by rapper Nelly. That's because the name of their group is ... Vokal. James Tyrone Wilson and Cameron Caines are suing the rapper for trademark infringement and unfair competition. They also want an injunction to stop Nelly from using the name and millions of dollars in
damages, of course. "Right now, since we don't have an accounting of the profits, we can't completely quantify the damages," Michael Santucci, an attorney for the singers in Fort Lauderdale, told the Associated Press. On the other hand, somebody's done their homework. Santucci says that since Vokal Clothing Company, which makes Nelly's clothing line, made in excess of $20 million dollars in 2002, a damage award could be a "seven or eight-figure number."
According to the lawsuit filed last February in Orlando, Wilson and Caines have written music, performed live, recorded songs and distributed clothing under the name Vokal since 1994.
