Just last weekend, Ludacris was honored with the President's Award at the BMI R&B Hip Hop Awards and now the rap veteran is reflecting on his 14 years in the game as he prepares to release his eighth studio album.
Luda says every experience he has had in the industry has taught him a different lesson.
"That journey is a lot of ups and downs," Ludacris says in an interview with HipHopDX. "A lot of mistakes, learning from those mistakes, being in and out of groups and being in bad contracts...Just learning from everything. I think experience is the best teacher."
The Atlanta rapper went on the say that receiving the President's Award is a great honor.
"To be here [14] years after my first album came out, being honored is a humbling experience," Luda says.
Back in 2000, Ludacris released his first major label album, Back For The First Time. The album features Luda's breakout hits including "Ho," "Southern Hospitality" and "What's Your Fantasy."
According to HipHopDX, Luda's eighth album Ludaversal may be dropping in November. He described the project as "emotional."
"I can definitely tell you in a nutshell there are a bunch of songs that define moments and are very emotional just for the simple fact this will be my most personal album to date in terms of talking about a lot of things that have gone on in my life and just really diving into who Chris Bridges is as a person," Luda recently told Billboard. "So that's what Ludaversal is all about, it's, 'Welcome to my world, this is where I live, this is what I go through on a day-to-day basis.'"
Stay tuned for more updates on Ludacris' forthcoming release.
