2 Chainz continues his grind in 2012, where he left off in 2011. The Atlanta rapper recently sat down with ThisIs50 and discussed everything from his introduction as a member of Playaz Circle to his new gig as an A&R on Luda's forthcoming new album, Ludaversal.

We also get a look at T. Boy and producer extraordinaire Jazze Pha in the lab discussing the collab they have on the way. Nothing wrong with this combo at all, except for the fact that they may hear from PETA at some point.

Peep the vids.

Ludacris and his onslaught of celebrity friends are continuing to take over Atlanta for the rapper's annual LudaDay Weekend.

The DTP head and face of SOUL headphones, took over Clark Atlanta University alongside Basketball Wife Meeka Claxton, Carmelo Anthony and Angela Simmons Saturday.

Luda and his guests partied with the college students and provided free food and drinks while famed DJ, DJ Holiday played host.

Also in the building were members of Black Hollywood including actor Lance Gross, Keshia Knight Pulliam and the lovely Tika Sumpter.

HipHopWired was in the building and caught interviews with the basketball wife as well as famed producer Sean Garrett.

While those interviews are coming soon, our friends at ATLNightSpots captured some pictures of yesterday's festivities.

LudaDay Weekend Trailer

Ludacris will takeover Labor Day Weekend for the 6th Annual LudaDay Weekend in Atlanta, GA.

LudaDay Weekend is a series of events widely supported by not only the City of Atlanta, but by celebrities, tastemakers and key influencers from across the country.

LudaDay Weekend serves as a platform to give back to the community that supports Ludacris and his many successful endeavors.

"We're 6 years strong, and each year gets bigger and better than the year before. I'm honored to be able to give back to the community that supported me from day one," says Bridges.

Every year Ludacris, DTP and The Ludacris Foundation does a special give-back to the community, and this year is no different.

They have partnered with the Atlanta Braves to giveaway 1,000 tickets to the Braves vs. Washington Nationals game on Thursday, September 1st, at Turner Field.

The tickets are being given away for free to various schools and Atlanta-area youth organizations to enjoy a day of family fun courtesy of Ludacris.

In the words of Atlanta rapper and former DTP affiliate, 4-ize, "Must be a slow day in Atlanta news when they reporting on my 4 year old sticker demo."

If you drive in the city of Atlanta on a regular basis there is a chance you will see the red and white stickers that have been up for quite some time on traffic signs that simply read "4-ize."

A CBS Atlanta news crew counted close to 100 of those stickers on the Flat Shoals Road exit ramp off I-20 east. The news crew found the stickers posted on signs at 11 different intersections. CBS Atlanta had to Google the rapper to find out who he was and after viewing his website they saw statements where he brags about the stickers.

Now that drivers have complained and a statement from the Atlanta's Public Works Department deemed the promotion illegal, expect some action to be taken against 4-ize. Who would have thought that after all these years the promotional tool would still work?
