Ludacris On “Battle Of The Sexes” Collabos, “I Went Out & Got Women From The Past, Present & Future”

Grammy-winning rapper Ludacris has discussed his motivation for collaborating with a variety of female artists on his Battle of the Sexes album.

From Luda’s perspective, hip-hop is ruled by men.

“It’s such a male-dominated industry that I feel like females need more of a voice, so we wanted to hear more of what the hell they had to say,” Luda said in an interview. “With that being said, I went out and got women from the past, the present and the future — everyone from Lil Kim, Eve, Trina, Nicki Minaj. I got records where I’m talking about women … and where women are talking back to me.” (MTV)

The project’s tracklisting was released earlier this month.

“The release date on the new album is officially March 9th, it was March 16th, it’s been pushed up a week due to the anticipation, feeling good, Battle of the Sexes, just got picked up on the Black Eyed Peas tour, so we’ll be promoting that starting Thursday all the way until the end of April,” Luda said in an interview. “So look for Battle of the Sexes on March 9th.” (Meet Tha Dealer TV)
