Despite all of his other projects, award-winning rapper, actor and label exec Ludacris [ tickets ] has still found time to play a handful of shows between now and September.

He'll hit cities from coast to coast starting April 18 in Philadelphia. Dates are listed below.

Ludacris' latest album, "Release Therapy," earned him two Grammy Awards this year--Best Rap Album and Best Rap Song for "Money Maker." The record has also scored back-to-back No. 1 singles with "Money Maker" and "Runaway Love," which Luda performed at the Grammy ceremony with Mary J. Blige and Earth, Wind & Fire.

"Runaway Love" was released in late-October in conjunction with the non-profit National Runaway Switchboard to increase awareness of the issues facing runaways in America, according to a press release. The track tackles the problem from the point of view of three young runaway girls who have escaped tragic situations.

"Release Therapy" is Ludacris' fifth album and follows 2004's double-platinum "The Red Light District." The rapper said his growth over the years is made obvious on his latest set.

"Going into the studio to make 'Release Therapy,' I felt like a wiser, more intelligent person. That was part of the vibe I wanted to bring across on the record--a more personal side that many have not seen," Luda said in a statement. "I know this is my fifth album, but I feel as though this is the first time I've ever exposed this much of myself."

In addition to the success of "Release Therapy," Ludacris also had quite a year on the acting front in 2006. He received a Screen Actors Guild Award, a Critics Choice Award and an NAACP Image Award, all for his role in the Oscar-winning film Crash. He also appeared in the highest-rated "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" TV broadcast ever, according to a press release. This year, Luda will co-star in the film "Fred Claus" with Vince Vaughn and Paul Giamatti.

As if his music and acting careers don't keep him busy enough, Ludacris also finds time to act as CEO of Disturbing Tha Peace Records and run The Ludacris Foundation, which helps with causes including Cerebral Palsy and Hurricane Katrina relief.
