It's almost been two full years since Ludacris' last album Release Therapy, but he's about to release a flurry of music to make it look like he never left. Cris is preparing to release his sixith album "Theater Of The Mind", but first he'll drop a mixtape titled "The Preview" with DJ Drama. "Album number six is on the way.
