Big Boi Signing To Def Jam, Leaving Jive Records

by ThePremier on July 17th, 2009

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/361/421/25091/asset.jpegAfter numerous problems with his long-time label home, Jive Records artist and half of the legendary Atlanta duo Outkast, Big Boi has decided to sever the ties and move on.

The news came after a Thursday phone call from an Atlanta studio, where Big Boi confirmed the leave as he went on to say;

"The lawyers just have to finish their lawyering"

Big Boi explained, also expressing his joy of once again working with Def Jam CEO LA Reid, claiming that "he's been with us from the beginning."

Def Jam will indeed be releasing Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty, Big Boi's long awaited (and delayed) solo album.

There has been no release date set for the forthcoming album.

That’s whats wrong with Hip Hop and fans we can’t get anything to keep our attention and the rappers pour out song after song with a lesser quality.

Big Boi won’t be successful without Andre. You’ll see when the sales come back from each of their solo albums. but movin to Def Jam was a smart move. it will at least get out there now. Big Boi should be thankful that he has Outkast to fall back on…

I dont really care about Big Boi’s solo career. I only care when he is on a song with Andre. So i hope he decides to just drop his album and go back to Andre
