28-year-old Ludacris (Chris Bridges), continues to mature as a man and an artist on his fifth disc, Release Therapy. One listen to Luda's Release Therapy and the growth is obvious. "Maturity is a beautiful thing," Ludacris says. "Going into the studio to make Release Therapy, I felt like a wiser, more intelligent person.

Already leaked to the internet, "War With God" is a heavy hitter. Over a vintage Billy Paul sample, Luda refuses to be the rope-a-dope. The seriousness of "Runaway Love," which features soul sis Mary J. Blige on the hook, is a testament to Ludacris' mission to be more than a party man. From speaking out against a young girl being beat-down by her drunk stepfather to detailing the blight of teens fleeing their homes in the night to escape the pain, "Runaway Love" is a milestone.

On the powerful track "Do Your Time," Luda transports the listener to the sorrow of life behind bars. Not trying to glamorize the ugliness of being locked-up. Though Luda has never done hard time himself (he does admit to a few juvenile mistakes), collaborators Bennie Segal, C-Murda and Pimp-C are a trio of wordsmith who know that the scene ain't pretty

Teaming-up with old friends the Neptunes on the first single "Money Maker," the rapper couldn't have been happier. Unlike the aforementioned tracks, this hypnotic booty bumper is classic dance song that speaks frankly about sex.

Having gathered a dazzling crew of collaborators on Release Therapy, Ludacris releases his inner wild child alongside R. Kelly on "Woozy," makes an aural film of life on "Based on a True Story," produced by Timbaland and brings the country hotness on "Satisfaction" with Field Mob.

Unafraid of the Black heavy metalist inside of him, Luda reveals his inner rock god on the Runners produced song, Slap.
