Ludacris Set to Rap and Ring in Atlanta’s New Year

Atlanta’s own Ludacris will rap in the dropping of the 800 lb. fiberglass and foam peach.

The Peach Drop started in 1989 and officials are now proud to claim it as a world renown event.

That also means a heavy police presence.

APD officials have issued a zero tolerance policy for any crime.

Expect to see extra officers in Downtown Atlanta, Midtown and other areas.

Parking will be tough so MARTA officials say grab a round trip Breeze pass.

The last trains on New Year’s Eve, which technically will be New Year’s Day, leave Five Points Station at approximately 2 a.m.

And for you 90’s music fan, Sugar Ray is also performing tonight.

A spokesperson for Atlanta Mayor Kasim Reed says he could pop up tonight.

Ludacris, whose real name is Christopher Bridges and Reed have a close friendship.

The Atlanta based rapper recently performed at the 5th annual UNCF Mayor’s Masked Ball.
