Ludacris to Open Chicken and Beer Restaurant

There are three things Ludacris loves more than anything: Atlanta, chicken and beer. Now he’s going to combine all three to open a restaurant that serves exclusively chicken and beer. Last night the rapper tweeted, “Im taking my restaurateur footprint into the busiest airport in the WORLD! Hartsfield-Jackson ATL International! Chicken & Beer coming soon!” He later tweeted that the location of the restaurant will be in Concourse D, which is one of the busiest areas of the busiest airport in the world. Since we’re located down here in Georgia, we’ll be sure to check it out. Maybe we’ll get...  read more

Def Jam preps 2LP comp for anniversary, Record Store Day

Hip-hop is in a collaborative frenzy right now. Nearly every big-name release has a small horde of featured artists, and producers and emcees are passed around the studios like so many communion chalices. Even so, uniting an entire label's best and brightest is no mean feat, since so many titanic egos would have to play nice to squeeze onto a single album. Def Jam, rap mecca that it is, is artfully sidestepping this problem by releasing a double-vinyl compilation in celebration of the label's 25th anniversary. ...  read more

Ludacris ends T.I. beef, talks new album
