Ludaversal by Ludacris
Ridiculous-sounding title notwithstanding, the former chart-topping party rapper from Atlanta has had a long dry spell between hits. His 2010 album Battle of the Sexes, barely went gold and the three singles that have already been released from Ludaversal (“Jingalin,” “Rest of My Life” with Usher and David Guetta and the Kelly Rowland-assisted “Representin’”) all wallowed at the bottom of the Billboard Hot 100 or failed to crack the chart at all. Oh, and the album’s been pushed back for almost two years. Bad signs, Luda. Bad, bad signs.
