Mar, 21 2010 | Written by ATLien

Antwan “Big Boi” Patton has announced his departure from Jive records and has signed a one album deal with Def Jam for the release of Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty.

In an excited tweet sent Friday, Big exclaimed that the deal is done and he’s finally free to release his music:

I’m heading over to Stankonia one day this week to get the low down, but apparently Def Jam CEO L. A. Reid, who first signed Outkast to the label over 15 years ago reached out to Big Boi to release the solo project under Def Jam.

Sir Lucious Leftfoot: Son of Chico Dusty is currently scheduled for a May 2010 release. Congratulations Twannnn!!  It’s about dayum time.
