Nelly To Release New St. Lunatics Album

The rap group are back, at last...

Rapper Nelly has announced plans to put together a new St. Lunatics album by November.

Talking to MTV News US, Nelly explained why it has taken so long to drop a follow-up to the Lunatics' Free City debut.

He told : "A lot of y'all been following us. You know the history. Our first album was called Free City, in honour of my little brother [City Spud] who was locked up right before we dropped Country Grammar.

"He wasn't with us, and we dropped the first Lunatic album. We didn't want to do another Lunatic album until he came out.

“We kinda got crossed up with that, 'cause we were hoping almost every year it would be the year he got out.

"Had we known he wouldn't get out till nine years later, obviously, we would have done another Lunatic album. But my brother is free now."
