Ludacris
Album: Release therapy
Release Date: September 26, 2006
Label: Def Jam

Luda is concentrating on his next solo album, Release Therapy.

"The name is Release Therapy for two reasons," he began to describe. "[For one thing,] I signed a five-album deal with Def Jam, and this is my fifth album. ... You can count on your hand artists that’ve made it this far. I just feel good about it. It’s one of those things that’s therapeutic just to know I’ve made it this far. Depending on whether or not I want to continue going is up to me."

Luda says his other inspiration for titling the album is music itself.

"Music is therapeutic," he said. "When I say Release Therapy, I just mean in what I do and speaking out. It is my release therapy, music, period. Every album I get more and more personal, start talking about issues that people would be surprised about or maybe didn’t think I would say. I’m about to release. You can’t keep stuff balled in. I never have kept stuff balled in, but I’m getting more and more comfortable talking [about] anything and just what’s on my mind. That’s what music is all about. Hopefully with me saying all of that sh—, you understand the title."
