Nelly Forms Rap Group

Rapper Nelly has teamed up with fellow artists, Akon, T-Pain, and Pharrell Williams, for form some sort of rap super-group.
He told MTV.com, "Me, Akon, T-Pain and Pharrell are talking about doing a project. We got a host of things we're trying to do - possibly put together this new 2009 (Bell Biv DeVoe) type of thing."
Nelly isn't worried about conflicted schedules getting in the way of the collaboration either.
He adds, "I don't think you try to put things together with people you don't think you can accomplish (them) with. With 'Kon, with Pain and Pharrell, I know it's more about the music than anything. It's about leaving something. I think we're all OK as far as the money thing goes. I don't think anybody is hurting. You wanna do things you can be remembered by. Make a mark. I think that's something that's foremost on all our minds."
In contrast Pharrell wont say too much aobut the project. "Those are all my boys. I'm kinda like the only one that adheres to the oath of secrecy. I don't wanna break that," and refuses to reveal what direction the sound will take, adding, "Well, seeing as though I'm supposed to be upholding my end of the bargain of upholding my oath of secrecy, I'm not so sure of how to answer that question."

Hmm, a ‘super-group’? I don’t know if I would use those words. They’re all fine in their own right but I (personally) wouldn’t call any of them the second coming. The only thing I can say about them is that they all have pretty distinct styles so it might be interesting to see what they come up with.
