In July Big Boi announced that he was leaving Jive Records and signing with Def Jam saying the only thing holding it up was paper work adding "the lawyers just have to finish their lawyering." Later the Atlanta rapper clarified that his upcoming new "Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty" album would not drop on Def Jam. Now Big Boi's publicist is setting the record straight saying the Outkast member is STILL with Jive Records and the long-time home for the rapper would be releasing his new "leftfoot" album.
As we previously reported, Big Boi talked about his situation. "It's not even on Def Jam," Boi explained in an interview. "It's not even on Def Jam. I was in a little situation, the [journalist] jumped in the interview, we was in the midst of talks and then in the midst of that, some more things happened and we in a great situation right now. That'll be announced very soon. The album should be out I think -- in about 12 weeks maybe. So you know, it's coming real soon."
