Data Insight
Thirteen of the seventeen tracks credit Ludacris. The four that do not are the album's comedy skits, written and produced by Terrence Battle under the name T-Storm, so the credit follows the performer. On the songs the usual shape holds, with Kanye West co-writing and producing "Stand Up" and Mo B. Dick doing both on "Hoes in My Room", where Snoop Dogg is credited for his verse.
Chicken-n-Beer is Ludacris's fourth album, released in October 2003 on Disturbing tha Peace and Def Jam South. It debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, selling 429,000 in its first week, and gave him his first two top 10 singles on the Hot 100 with "Stand Up" and "Splash Waterfalls". Kanye West, DJ Paul, Juicy J and Erick Sermon are among the producers.
