Ludacris Biography
Ludacris rode the early-2000s Dirty South explosion to
widespread popularity, as his songs enjoyed an enormous embrace, mainly
by urban media outlets but also MTV and pop radio. The Atlanta-based
rapper (born Christopher Bridges) went from local sensation to
household name after Def Jam signed him to its Def Jam South subsidiary
in 2000. In addition to connecting him with super-producers like
Timbaland, the Neptunes, and Organized Noize, Def Jam gave Ludacris
remarkable marketing push. Ludacris thus quickly became one of the rap
industry's most in-demand rappers, guesting on hits for everyone from
Missy Elliott ( One Minute Man ) to Jermaine Dupri ( Welcome to
Atlanta ) when he wasn't dominating the urban market with his own hits,
most notably What's Your Fantasy?, Southern Hospitality, Area
Codes, and Rollout (My Business).
Before he became the Dirty South's most popular rapper, Ludacris DJed
at an Atlanta radio station. He used the opportunity to hone his craft
on the mic, learn about the industry, and make a name for himself
throughout the Atlanta area, which had become the South's rap mecca
starting in the mid-'90s. Eventually, he began aspiring toward a career
as a rapper rather than as a radio jock, and after working with
Timbaland -- appearing on the producer's Tim's Bio album (the original
version of Fat Rabbit ) in 1998 -- Ludacris began taking his rap
career seriously. He recorded an album, Incognegro (2000), and released
it on his independently released Disturbing tha Peace label. Ludacris
primarily worked with producer Shondrae for the album, though also with
Organized Noize to a lesser extent. Incognegro sold impressively in
Atlanta, where Ludacris was well known for his radio work.
Soon after Incognegro became the talk of Atlanta and What's Your
Fantasy? became a regional hit, Scarface came knocking. Def Jam had
given the veteran rapper the go-ahead to scout for talent in the South,
since the Dirty South movement was gaining steam at the time and Def
Jam wanted to start a Def Jam South subsidiary. Ludacris became
Scarface's first signing, and Def Jam repackaged the tracks from
Incognegro, along with a few new productions: a U.G.K. collaboration
( Stick 'Em Up ), a Neptunes production ( Southern Hospitality ), and a
remix of his previously released song with Timbaland (retitled Phat
Rabbit ). Def Jam then gave the resulting album, Back for the First
Time (2000), substantial marketing push, choosing What's Your
Fantasy? (an explicit duet about sexual fantasies from both the male
and female perspective) as the first single. Though some radio stations
were hesitant to air such a provocative song, What's Your Fantasy?
became an enormous success -- as did, to a lesser extent, its even more
provocative remix featuring Foxy Brown and Trina -- opening the door
for countless other truly dirty Dirty South songs that would soon
become the norm rather than the exception.
Following his initial breakthrough with What's Your Fantasy?,
Ludacris remained ubiquitous. He toured the States with OutKast and
released a flurry of successive hit singles: the Neptunes-produced
Southern Hospitality, the Timbaland-produced Phat Rabbit, the Nate
Dogg collabo Area Codes, the Timbaland-produced Rollout (My
Business), the Organized Noize-produced Saturday (Oooh Oooh!), the
KLC-produced Move Bitch. His second album for Def Jam, Word of Mouf
(2001), peaked at number three on the Billboard album chart in October
and hovered at the top of the charts for a long time. Furthermore, he
contributed to hits for other artists during this same time, most
notably Missy Elliott's One Minute Man and Jermaine Dupri's Welcome
to Atlanta, and also released another album, Golden Grain (2002),
which featured his Disturbing tha Peace posse. The proper Ludacris
follow-up, Chicken -N- Beer, was released in October 2003, and he
returned a year later with Red Light District. In 2006, he returned
with a more introspective album, Release Therapy, and vowed that he
would be taken more seriously than in the past. ~ Jason Birchmeier, All
