Here is a brand new leaked track from Nelly’s forthcoming album, Brass Knuckles (Derrty/Universal), which will be in stores this Summer. The song, Stepped On My Js, features Ciara as well as Jermaine Dupri who produced on the track; it also features a sample from J-Kwon’s (remember him?) Tispy. The song is alrite, I mean it wouldn’t particularly be single material, though.

JD1472 also known as Jermaine Dupri posted a video on YouTube of a new track from Nelly featuring Ciara, “Steppin’ On My Jays” from his upcoming album Brass Knuckles (Derrty/Universal) I get the feel that this is his sequel to his song, Air Force Ones. I can’t wait to see the music video to this track. I’m pretty sure this is the second single or J.D. wouldn’ve posted it. Click play on this video above.

Body on Me by Nelly is a newly leaked track from the album Brass Knuckles, set to be released June 24, 2008. The song features Akon. I wouldn’t call it single material, per se, but it’s alrite. I’m still loving Party People with Fergie!
