Ludacris Presents: — Disturbing Tha Peace

Ludacris isn't the first rap superstar to share the wealth with his friends through bloated posse albums, but unlike the others, he seems to actually enjoy himself. On the second DTP album, Luda steers his Dirty South crew through a serviceable collection of hip-hop and R&B bangers that tell familiar stories of pimping, screwing and shooting. It's not exactly original, but it's still a light and enjoyable listen. Ludacris has always brought a healthy sense of fun and humour to his thug life tales and it's a quality that extends to DTP artists like Bobby Valentino and Shawnna. And even if it's short on radio-friendly hits, tracks like Norfclk's "Put Ya Hands Up" are still plenty capable of rocking a house party.
