Ludacris -- who also has a successful acting career under his real name, Chris Bridges -- knows how to balance his music output and acting roles. His last CD, Theater Of The Mind, was released in November 2008. Luda told us he knows when to do promotion and when to lay low: "I feel like I'm not over-exposed right now. I think I've taken a little bit of a break. The break that I took was because I felt like I was getting a little over-exposed and I don't want people to get tired of me."

Ludacris is currently in the midst of touring with the Black Eyed Peas. He'll begin a round of promotional appearances for his new album on March 2nd with a spot on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.
