In August, Luda spoke with "Billboard" about his upcoming album. "But I can definitely tell you in a nutshell there are a bunch of songs that define moments and are very emotional just for the simple fact this will be my most personal album to date in terms of talking about a lot of things that have gone on in my life and just really diving into who Chris Bridges is as a person. So that's what "Ludaversal" is all about," he said. "Burning Bridges" is Luda's first stab at new music since his 2010 release "Battle of the Sexes," which featured tons of big-name guest spots. Lil' Kim, Nicki Minaj and Monica handled the female side of things while Trey Songz, Flo Rida and Gucci Mane represented the males.
