The Dirty South will take over the James L. Knight Center in downtown Miami when Rick Ross and Ludacris perform at the Kings of Rap Concert on September 18.

The Def Jam Records labelmates, hot on the heels of successful releases, will co-headline the show.

Carol City-native Rick Ross' fourth studio album, Teflon Don, just debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart, selling over 175,000 copies. Its first singles, "Super High" with Ne-Yo and "B.M.F. (Blowin' Money Fast)" with Styles P, have been moderately popular. But his next single, the sprawling 6-minute-long "Live Fast, Die Young" with the returning Kanye West, will surely be a smash.

Battles of the Sexes, Ludacris' seventh disc, debuted at No. 1 in March, and spawned two hits: the chipmunked "How Low" and the Nicki Minaj-assisted "My Chick Bad."

Tickets are available now at Ticketmaster, but they won't come cheap: They range from $55 to $177.50 before service charges.
