Chingy to Release "Hate It or Love It" in December

After his highly publicized departure from Disturbing Tha Peace, Chingy surprised fans everywhere by returning to Ludacris' label in August.

"I don't think Capitol really knew how to work urban artists," told Chingy to Billboard.com in August. "They're really stuck on pop and they didn't know how to market me. I ain't knocking them because that's where I started, but I think that's why they fired a lot of people in the L.A. offices recently. I'm glad I'm off the label."

Now, the rapper who has spawned such hits as Right Thurr and Holidae Inn is getting down to work immediately. He plans to release his next album on DTP titled Hate It or Love It.

The album, which is slated to drop December 11, features appearances from Amerie, Ludacris, Bobby Valentino, Anthony Hamilton, Rick Ross and Huey, among others.

The first single for the album will be Fly Like Me, which features Amerie. The song will begin radio rotation in early November, and a music video will accompany it.
