Ludacris and his non-profit charity, The Ludacris Foundation, celebrated Christmas with a holiday party last Thursday (Dec. 18th) sponsored by Alize. Ludacris and his daughter, Karma, posed for photos with hundreds of underprivileged children at the Mount Vernon Boys’ Club in New York as they handed out gifts to celebrate the spirit of giving. We’re all for giving back to the community and all of that good stuff … but what’s up with the sponsor being Alize? Isn’t that a liquor brand???

Here’s the official video premiere of Ludacris‘ hilarious new Artemus Jenkins-directed music video, “Everybody Hates Chris.” This is the third single from his latest album, Theater of the Mind, which is in stores now!

I’ll keep this simple. This album is outrageously hot and it’s probably the best Ludacris album since Word of Mouf. When folks consider the best MCs, Ludacris usually isn’t in the mix, but Chris Bridges has been one of the most prolific and consistent rappers of our era and deserves to be on the tip of tongues. He over-reaches thematically on this disc, as he conceives it as a cinematic piece with dramatic production on some tracks.

Def Jam’s leading superstar from the south, Ludacris has pushed back his sixth effort, “Theater of the Mind,” to November 25, 2008. The album is coming together rather nicely and a new song just leaked titled, “I Do It For Hip-Hop.” The song features Nas, and Jay-Z. It’s the ultimate track all three coming swinging hard on this track with great punches, clever witt, and amazing swagger. The track touches on numerous of personal attachments to Hip-Hop for this Def Jam trio. We hope you all enjoy the track as much as we did.
