The last album that Ludacris dropped was 2015's Ludaversal, but he's looking to deliver a new project in the coming year.

As to why it's been eight years since his last release, Luda said that he had to live a little.

"It was just taking a step back and getting hungry again, living some life," he told BET. "'Cause when you put out music, in order for it to be organic and real, you gotta talk about what goes on in your life. So, if I had like nine consistent albums, sometimes you gotta take a step back and live some life so that you have a lot more to talk about and that’s what I was doing."

It's not clear at this point on what Luda's next project will be since he's still making plans.

"Some music projects will be coming out next year," said the rapper, who once explained why he's not considered a top-tier lyricist. "I don’t wanna fake, I don't wanna stutter-step. I don’t wanna be like [André] 3000 and say, 'I got an album coming out.' I don’t know. It’s definitely some music coming next year, but I don’t know if it’s like an EP or an LP. We’re going to figure it out."
