Ludacris is making history.  He has signed a multi-million dollar deal with tele-com giant, AT & T, making him the first hip-hop act to sign to a US phone company for more than a million dollars.

AT&T plans to feature the rapper in online videos and television ad campaigns beginning next month.

When asked about the recent filming for the ad spots, Ludacris said:

“I had a lot a fun shooting this commercial…If you like the AT&T commercials you’ve seen then you’ll love this one.”

Hmm, I don’t really remember any recent AT&T commercials I’ve seen, Cris.   I wonder what your recruiting letter from AT&T  looked like before you signed:

Dear Ludacris,
If you like the million dollar checks you’ve seen, you’ll love these others we have for you.

Sincerely,
AT&T (your new best friends)

Ludacris is currently finalizing his 6th studio album titled “Theater Of Mind.”  Expected to be released soon.

At the end of the day, I guess the AT&T money will keep you making music.  Congrats for all those benjamins, Luda.  I’m just glad Easy E  died before he had a chance to go corporate.
