The mixtape’s title has a dual meaning.
“It’s as simple as this. Spirit has a double meaning,” Luda explains. “When you talk about spirits, you talk about liquors, as in Conjure [cognac]. Then my spirit, I have a hustler’s spirit. People that listen to the mixtape have a hustler’s spirit. It’s a lot of people out there getting money. That’s basically what this thing is about. Even in the rap game, you have to sell records, we hustle. This is for the hustlers. Simple as that.”
Chris’ Battle of the Sexes features appearances by Nicki Minaj, Lil’ Kim, Eve and others. It hits retailers on March 9.

Brothers are rappin like Iraqi soldiers
Actin like they crackin boulders
when they pack a cap that won’t attack a blowfish
Always talkin shit, players that rather balk than pitch
and often counterfeit, Kings of New York
on Mr. Walken’s dick
You make me sick to my stomach, you don’t really want it
Riffin like you sniffin coke
but scared because you barely gun it
You really done it now you got me mad
Borenos be like, “Papi’s bad,”
makin fakers cocky when I’m drivin back
