Super Catchy Tune: Ludacris' Ode to Butts, 'Jingalin'' - Celeb Music

It's been two years since Ludacris released an album, presumably because he's been too busy filming supporting roles in weighty think pieces like No Strings Attached and New Year's Eve. But the Atlanta-based rapper is hard at work on his eighth studio album, Ludaversal, which has a boisterous lead single in "Jingalin'."
Ludacris tweeted that the busy track, hyper-produced by Da Internz, is the "Official Club Banger for the Summer!" But the song's stripper-centric lyrics about a murderously jiggly rear end might prove a little too polarizing for mass appeal, even if the groovy slow jam breakdown includes charming lines like, "Yeah, go on an' jingle with the mister, jingle witcha mama, jingle witcha sista."
Sigh. It's no "Move B**ch," but the album artwork has us looking forward to the latest in tush-centric music video artistry. Only time will tell if it'll go down in history as one of the best ever butt songs.
