5.0 is the sixth studio album by American rapper Nelly. It was released through Universal Motown Records and Derrty on November 12, 2010. The album features guest appearances from Kelly Rowland, Keri Hilson, DJ Khaled, Baby, Sophie Greene, Ali, Plies, Chris Brown, T.I., Yo Gotti, T-Pain, Akon, Talib Kweli, Avery Storm, Murphy Lee, Dirty Money and Sean Paul while production was handled by Infamous, Dr. Luke, Mr. Bangladesh, Jim Jonsin, Multiman, Polow da Don, Rico Love and The Runners, among others. 5.0 is predominately a hip hop and pop music album with subtle influences of R&B.

The album received mixed reviews, with some critics praising its mainstream appeal and hit-making potential as a return to familiar strengths, while others criticized it as mediocre and lacking the credibility and creativity of Nelly's earlier work. 5.0 debuted at ten on the US Billboard 200, selling over 65,000 copies in its first week domestically. Its lead single, "Just a Dream" became the only song from 5.0 to earn mainstream radio airplay and significantly impact worldwide charts. Released on August 16, 2010, it peaked at number three on the US Billboard Hot 100.
