First, it was Busta Rhymes, now it's Ludameister who cuts off his trademark braids and afro, though his new hairstyle isn't as low as that of Busta.  Some say the low-cut made his ears looked bigger... lol!  Well, methinks it makes him look more serious now, which I think may be Luda's intention.  For him, the time had come for a new look.  "Release Therapy marks a new phase in my life," Ludacris told AllHipHop.com in a statement. "I'm very excited to move forward and try new things. Life is all about change and this album will hopefully reflect some of my growth as an artist and a person. With that said, it only makes sense that I 'shake things up' and try something different. Who knows what I'll come up with next?"

Release Therapy is slated for a September 26 release.
