Ludacris, a prominent figure in rap’s Dirty South movement of the late ’90s and early 2000s, rose to immense popularity during that era, establishing himself as one of the most successful Southern rappers at the time. His dominance in the music scene was evident through a string of chart-topping hits and platinum-selling albums like Word of Mouf (2001) and Chicken -N- Beer (2003). Moreover, Ludacris ventured into the realm of acting, appearing in various films and television shows, all while maintaining a strong presence in the music industry with guest features on fellow artists’ tracks and his own solo projects such as Ludaversal (2015). Born Christopher Bridges on September 11, 1977, in Champaign, Illinois, Ludacris later moved to Atlanta where he continued his education at Banneker High School and Georgia State University. His entry into the rap world stemmed from his work as a radio disc jockey at Atlanta’s Hot 97.5, where he was known as DJ Chris Lova Lova. It was during this time that Ludacris crossed paths with renowned producer Timbaland, who featured Ludacris on the track “Fat Rabbit” from his album Tim’s Bio (1998), setting the stage for Ludacris’ future success in the industry.
