Ludacris is planning to release new music in 2024 after stepping away from the industry to focus on his acting career.
The 46-year-old rapper has confirmed he’s working on new projects eight years after he dropped his last album ‘Ludaversal’ back in 2015, but Ludacris has confessed he doesn’t yet know what form his new release will take.
He told BET.com: “Some music projects will be coming out next year. I don’t wanna fake, I don’t wanna stutter-step. I don’t wanna be like [Andre] 3000 and say, I got an album coming out. I don’t know.”
“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.”
He went on to explain he hasn’t released an album in more than a decade because he’s been busy with movie projects such as the ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise and Netflix series ‘Karma’s World’.
The musician added: “These movie projects like ‘Fast and Furious’ and doing a lot of things like the ‘Karma’s World’ project that’s on Netflix [have been taking up taime].
“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.”
He went on to add taking so many years off from the industry will hopefully improve his new music.
Ludacris explained: “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.”
