Ludacris has proven his longevity in entertainment after recently celebrating the 25th anniversary of “Incognegro,” the rapper’s debut album, which was released independently (Disturbing tha Peace) on August 17, 1999. The album was rereleased after signing with Def Jam South in 2000 and aptly renamed “Back for the First Time.” He has sold over 20 million albums after starting his career as an Atlanta radio station personality using the moniker Chris Lova Lova.
The Illinois-born rapper is a three-time Grammy Award Winner, has won the awards for Best Rap Song, Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and Best Rap Album, and has had five number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100. He has also had four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, 56 Hot 100 charted singles, and 18 different Top 10 Hot 100 records.
As an actor, he has appeared in many movies and television series but is most recognized for his recurring role in the “Fast & Furious” franchise playing the character Tej who is an intelligent tech-savvy mechanic who is a vital part of Vin Diesel’s character Dominic Toretto’s crew. He has appeared in seven of the franchise’s 11 films. He will reprise his role in the next installment of “Fast & Furious” next year.
