Ludacris recently spoke with MTV’s Mixtape Daily about his newest mixtape, Conjure: A Hustler’s Spirit.

The Atlanta rapper told MTV that he was inspired to do the mixtape for his fans.

“Before the album, after the album, I’m just in a space where I’m inspired,” he says. “I’m inspired by beats of course, the ones that are on Battle of the Sexes. But even beyond that, I’m jumping on stuff. It’s my exercise. I wanna give all my fans something — [the ones] that have been supporting me for the last 10 years — something for free.” (MTV)

Luda also explained the double meaning of the mixtapes title stating, “When you talk about spirits, you talk about liquors, as in Conjure [cognac]. Then my spirit, I have a hustler’s spirit. People that listen to the mixtape have a hustler’s spirit. This is for the hustlers. Simple as that.” (MTV)

Listed as the “joints to check for” on Conjure include “O Let’s Do it,” “Pennies,” and “All Da Way Turnt Up.”

Ludacris’s follow-up album to the mixtape, Battle of the Sexes, is scheduled to be released on March 9.
