Notes & Personnel Info |  | INCOGNEGRO is also available on Def Jam South Records [584 137] as BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME with three new tracks. | | Personnel includes: Ludacris, 2-D, F.R.T.E., Shrwnna, 4-Ize, Chimere, Pastor Troy. | | Personnel: Ludacris (vocals, rap vocals). | | Audio Mixer: Mike Wilson. | | Recording information: Patchwerk Studios, Atlanta, GA; Sound Asylum Studios, College Park, GA. | | This is a unique case of an album having two lives. Initially released on a relatively small, underground hip-hop label, INCOGNEGRO took the rap audience by storm to such an extent that Ludacris was snapped up quickly by Def Jam, who decided to use it to initiate their new Def Jam South imprint. The DJS reissue of the album was retitled BACK FOR THE FIRST TIME, and gave Ludacris a shot at an even bigger audience. | | Not too shabby for a new artist, even one as talented as Ludacris. Though the presence of some of the South's finest artists, such as Lil' Troy and UGK, may help to increase interest in this album, it's Ludacris's unique hip-hop vision that is the central focus here, combining intense urban scenarios with infectious funk, complex rhyming patterns, and undeniable lyrical skills. |
