John Legend suits up and sets the sultry mood in the video for “Tonight (Best You Ever Had),” his collaboration with Ludacris off the Think Like a Man soundtrack. The TAJ-directed video won’t premiere until Monday, but here’s a teaser to hold you over until then.
Move out the way. Ludacris is coming back this summer. The hip-hop veteran is readying the follow-up to his 2010 album Battle of the Sexes. Production duo Da Internz (“Birthday Cake,” “Dance (A$$)”) have been in the studio crafting records for the Atlanta MC and spilled some exclusive details to Rap-Up TV.
“This Ludaversal album is a statement,” said Tuo, while Kosine added, “This album is crazy. We’re just happy to have a bunch of joints on there. We got a record that I think Chicago’s gonna be real happy when they hear it ’cause it’s like the Chicago sound, a little bit of that juke thang. And then of course we got some of that hood, that ‘A$$’ bass that you love. Da Internz swag is definitely on there.”
The Chicago natives also revealed that they have the first, and possibly second, single off the album, and hinted that it would feature a special guest. “Of course we got the first jumpoff,” said Tuo. “It’s a good look.”
DJ Drama storms the club with ATL’s finest Young Jeezy, T.I., Ludacris, and Future on his latest track “We in This Bitch.” Jeezy kicks off the Kane Beatz banger before Tip spits a “gangsta, gutter, glamorous” verse. Future toasts to the good life on the hook and Luda delivers a blow to his haters before the music fades. “You can hate, you can diss, you can make a wish/ But eight albums and Luda still in this bitch,” he raps.
Dim the lights. John Legend takes it to the bedroom on his smooth new single “Tonight (Best You Ever Had).” “I hit you with the best stroke, freestyle and the breast stroke/ Till you blowing cigarette smoke/ And now the bed’s broke,” sings Mr. Legend on the explicit Phatboi production, which features a verse from Ludacris. The song will appear on his upcoming fourth solo album and the soundtrack to the romantic comedy Think Like a Man.
Ludacris has a lot on his plate for 2012. In addition to prepping his eighth album Ludaversal and starring in blockbuster films, the rapper-actor is launching a new restaurant in his hometown airport.
Ludacris goes behind the mask in the haunting video for “Say It to My Face,” a cut off his mixtape 1.21 Gigawatts: Back to the First Time. Luda kidnaps his victim and tortures him as he lays strapped to a chair, chastising him for talking behind his back, while Maybach Music’s Meek Mill assists with the punishment. Take it as a lesson learned.
Ludacris serves up the racy video for “Shake N Fries,” a cut off his recent mixtape 1.21 Gigawatts: Back to the First Time. The tantalizing visuals feature plenty of ass shaking, lots of skin, and some girl-on-girl action, but no Gucci Mane. Proceed at your own risk.
