Ludacris Official Mixtape

Last week we posted a story on Ludacris along with some new music from the multi-platinum selling artist.

Now Luda has officially released a mixtape by the name of Ludacris Presents Conjure: A Hustler’s Spirit.

“I did a verse to the beat,” Chris said in Los Angeles last week. “I love the beat so much. That’s one of the beats that comes on and you feel instant gratification. Somebody put my verse sandwiched in between the Jay and the Snoop verses [on the] G-Mix. It’s all good. I just want people to hear it. Whatever it is, y’all just need to listen to it.”

While that freestyle didn’t make it to the Conjure mixtape, the iconic Southerner has an entire grab bag of flows for you.

“Before the album, after the album, I’m just in a space where I’m inspired,” he says. “I’m inspired by beats of course, the ones that are on Battle of the Sexes. But even beyond that, I’m jumping on stuff. It’s my exercise. I wanna give all my fans something — [the ones] that have been supporting me for the last 10 years — something for free.”

The mixtape’s title has a dual meaning.

“It’s as simple as this. Spirit has a double meaning,” Luda explains. “When you talk about spirits, you talk about liquors, as in Conjure [cognac]. Then my spirit, I have a hustler’s spirit. People that listen to the mixtape have a hustler’s spirit. It’s a lot of people out there getting money. That’s basically what this thing is about. Even in the rap game, you have to sell records, we hustle. This is for the hustlers. Simple as that.”

Chris’ Battle of the Sexes features appearances by Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim, Eve and others. It hits retailers on March 9.

Here’s a taste of what to expect from the new mixtape.
