After a short hiatus following his last album "Release Therapy" southern bred rapper Ludacris is ready to jump back into the music scene with his new album "Theater Of Mind". According to Luda, the album which is supposed to be conceptual will play out like a movie.

"Conceptual-wise, every song you hear plays out like a scene from the movie." Luda said while speaking to MTV " Whether it's storytelling, me giving you the real of what's going on in the world, you gotta look at it as your imagination is gonna run wild with every song you hear."

To tide fans over until the album is released he is releasing a "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape titled "Preview" which he is putting the finishing touches on now.

"Album number six is on the way. So with that said, we got the mixtape, The Preview — the preview to the damn movie. It's all about lyrical exercise. I been gone, opening up a restaurant in Atlanta, doing movies here and there, just a little bit of everything. It's time to get back in the music game. It's been a long time, but we back on that ass."

The mixtape will have feature tracks beats from songs such as "Blue Magic", and "Still Tippin" as Luda has picked beats of songs he has always wanted to rhyme on.

This will be the very first "Gangsta Grillz" mixtape with Ludacris. Both he and Drama are very confident with the music they have put together. When speaking about the mixtape and how they put it together, Drama was very excited saying; "This sh** is history. It's the preview, the coming attractions. Get your popcorn. Luda already had the concept of the tape, it being the preview ... for the Theater of the Mind. When I heard the word 'preview,' my mind started immediately racing of how we should put it together. I said, 'Every beat, everything you get on has to be a movie.' On the microphone, he's already a monster, so it's kind of an easy thing. I like to give everything a beginning, middle and end. With a concept like The Preview, Cris kinda made it too easy."

There is no release date for either the album or the mixtape yet
