Ludacris has released a lot of movies over the past eight years, but he hasn’t made any new music.
However, according to BET, he’s finally returning to the music game.
“Yeah, some music projects will be coming out next year. I don’t wanna fake, I don’t wanna stutter-step. It’s definitely some music coming next year, but I don’t know if it’s like an EP or an LP. We’re going to figure it out.”
Why Has Ludacris Taken So Long To Release New Music?
When asked, the rapper revealed that his thriving acting career kept him too busy to enter the studio.
“These movie projects like Fast & Furious and doing a lot of things like the Karma’s World project that’s on Netflix. You know, doing other art forms where I’m creative, where I’m putting my heart into that, I want to make sure that I leave a legacy on this earth. So it was just taking a step back and getting hungry again, living some life. ‘Cause when you put out music, in order for it to be organic and real, you gotta talk about what goes on in your life. So if I had like nine consistent albums, sometimes you gotta take a step back and live some life so that you have a lot more to talk about and that’s what I was doing.”
The musical landscape has changed since Ludacris released his last album, but he refused to be drawn into what his new music will sound like.
For now, he’s releasing freestyles on social media to show that he’s still a master lyricist.
But Ludacris isn’t done with movies.
“I definitely would love to be a part of the Marvel universe or DC universe, but I wouldn’t mind playing the villain that doesn’t die. That’s what I’m looking for — one of those roles or like a Training Day villain-type role.”
