The rapper is set to perform a special VR gig to mark this 2-decade milestone. It's still hard to believe we've been listening to songs in this album for over 20 years. Feels old, yet?

Country Grammar was released in July 2000 and featured the absolute classics Country Grammar (Hot S**t) and Ride Wit Me, with Nelly was considered as a hip hop icon at that time.

In this event, Nelly will perform all the songs in the album on Melody VR with a free, interactive 360° show for the fans on 25 July. Fans could now see him slaying on stage while spitting out bars like in a real live show.

Nelly said: "Anytime you get a chance to celebrate 20 years, you want to do something that you have never done before — so we are going to rock the Country Grammar album top to bottom."
