Suit is one of the two albums (along with Sweat) that St. Louis rapper Nelly released in 2004. It is the album with more R&B groove, and it seems to be the more popular album of the two, by debuting at #1 with 396,000 copies sold in its first week on the Billboard 200, while on the same week, the Sweat album debuted at #2 selling around 342,000 copies in its first week on the same chart. The album features songs like: "My Place", "Over and Over", "N Dey Say", "Pretty Toes" and "Play it Off" (the first three of these were released as singles). It received a Grammy nomination. Later on in early 2005, Nelly released an album titled Sweat / Suit which combines hits from both the Sweat and Suit albums in to one CD.

The UK edition of this album features the remixes of "Dilemma" & "Ride Wit Me" also available on Nelly's compilation CD "Da Derrty Versions: The Reinvention"

It was the result of a minor controversy when Nelly referred Sweat and Suit as "The White Album for hip-hop," while appearing on Total Request Live.
