On Nov. 21, Ludacris sat down with BET to discuss his plan to get back into his music bag after an eight-year hiatus.
During the interview, the actor/rapper revealed that he has been working on music projects set to be released in 2024. Although he didn’t specify whether it would be an EP or an LP, the rapper expressed his eagerness to share new material with his fans. Ludacris explained:
“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. 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 “Get Back” rapper also explained that he didn’t want to necessarily talk about what his new music would sound like because it was “premature” and he had been “working on a lot of stuff.”
Ludacris said he still has some goals he’d like to reach, including playing a villain on the big screen. The “How Low” rapper expressed:
“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.”
Speaking of the Fast and Furious actor’s film career, Ludacris and Lil Rel Howrey are set to bring holiday joy in the Disney+ Christmas film Dashing Through The Snow.
In the recently released trailer, with rapper Lil Jon’s distinctive voice, the film unfolds the heartwarming journey of Ludacris as “Eddie Garrick,” a divorced social worker, and his daughter Charlotte, portrayed by Madison Skye Validum, as they embark on a magical Christmas Eve adventure.
Meanwhile, Paul Wall has been making moves of his own, releasing his second single titled “Covered In Ice.”
The track showcases the Houston rapper’s signature Southern sound and reflects the lifestyle and culture of his hometown. Accompanied by a music video featuring notable artists such as Bun B and Chalie Boy, titled, “Roll Skate, Bounce,” Paul Wall pays homage to his city while solidifying his place in the rap game.
Joining the wave of comebacks, New York rapper Memphis Bleek has resurfaced after a ten-year hiatus from music.
Bleek teamed up with Milwaukee’s rap artist Huey V on the track “Mo Money, Mo Problems.” With their shared mentor relationship and Bleek’s lyrical contribution, the collaboration encapsulates Huey V’s journey from the streets to success.
Another rapper who with their shared mentor relationship and Bleek’s lyrical contribution recently broke their hiatus was Drake. The Canadian rapper sent shockwaves through the music world with a surprise announcement of his upcoming EP, Scary Hours 3, following his hiatus declaration. The chart-topping artist captivated fans by sharing a dynamic two-minute trailer, teasing its release.
