Description

Encyclopedia article about Ludacris. One of the most prominent talents in southern rap music, Ludacris has benefited from the recent rise of the "Dirty South" style of rap, selling millions of albums as both a solo rapper and a guest artist. Supported by music television stations and widespread radio play, Ludacris quickly became a popular culture icon. Though his music often has an unabashedly explicit tone, Ludacris's witty and clever rhymes have made him one of the most sought-after rappers in hip-hop.
