Ludacris’ Disturbing Tha Peace (DTP) has re-signed a long-term distribution deal with Island Def Jam Music Group, squashing speculations that Island Def Jam had dropped the Atlanta-based label.
Rumors began to circulate last week that IDJ’s Chairman, Antonio “L.A” Reid,, had dropped DTP. after a showcase the label sponsored last week.
That rumor was laid to rest when Ludacris, Chaka Zulu and Jeff Dixon announced a new long-term distribution deal for DTP.
“The Atlanta Hip-Hop scene and the Dirty South movement in general owe more than they can ever repay to Chris,” Antonio “L.A.” Reid said in a statement. According to Reid, changing business conditions in the music industry means that both labels will be reviewing their respective rosters “to ensure that future opportunities and challenges are aggressively achieved.”
Ludacris is currently working on his sixth album, titled Theater of The Mind.
According to Ludacris, the new album is the sum of all of his previous albums rolled into one release.
