Ludacris Targets Early 2013 Release for 'Ludaversal'

Ludacris debuted his sexy collaboration with Kelly Rowland “Representin” on Monday, but you’ll have to wait until next year to get your hands on his album Ludaversal.

The Atlanta rapper plans to release more cuts from his eighth LP before it arrives in early 2013. “You gon’ hear a lot more records from the Ludaversal album, coming first quarter next year,” he told Hot 107.9 Atlanta.

Earlier this year, he dropped the strip club anthem “Jingalin'” produced by Da Internz, and has been in the studio with Pharrell, Miguel, Jim Jonsin, Rico Love, and others.

Luda will finish out the year filming Fast and Furious 6, the sixth installment in the popular street-racing franchise. The movie speeds into theaters over Memorial Day weekend.

But despite his thriving Hollywood career, music will always be his first love. “The music is always gonna be number one for me,” said Luda. “It’s been a minute, be we coming back strong.”
