Big Boi gets a Release Date

For the past two years, Big Boi has been rumored to be working on a solo album. Towards the end of 2007, Big Boi announced that he would release an album during the summer of 2008. Supposedly, the lead single was supposed to be released on New Year's Eve.

However, 2008 went by and the new album never came. During the summer of 2009, it was revealed that Big Boi had signed with Def Jam. The man who originally signed him, L.A. Reid, was now an executive with the label. Because things had changed at Jive, Big Boi was ready for a reunion.

There has not been a set release date for this album. For the most part, the only thing that Big Boi could confirm is that the album would come out before the end of the year. However, now, Big Boi has been informed that Def Jam will be releasing his album in July 2010.
