Word. He says sometime third week of Dec. to second of Jan.
Ozone, allhiphop, hip hop enquirer & contentmag all heard it at a listening party on Sunday so it seems all done and ready to go.

October 13th, 2009 at 6:01 pm
i don’t think that is a blockbeataz drop at the beginning, but damn wouldn’t that be something to hear blockbeataz produce a big boi track…
there’s no way this album won’t be a classic. so many fire tracks have already been released, who knows what else he’s got up his sleeve. i can’t wait to here it all
October 13th, 2009 at 6:13 pm
What Block Beataz drop?
Big shouts Cutmaster Swiff on the intro, I would assume he produced this.
October 13th, 2009 at 7:54 pm
pretty whatever verse from Gucci on this
October 13th, 2009 at 9:30 pm
this has a great hook. i’m actually kind of happy no one’s released this, in a weird way. the more we hear, the dumber the label looks.
October 13th, 2009 at 10:41 pm
At the 0:11 sec mark, I could swear it sounds like a “Block beattaz” drop, just as he adlibs “Gucci!”
October 14th, 2009 at 4:56 am
I’m not hearing any Block Beataz drops. It really doesn’t sound like a BB beat either. The bassline is too happy. It’s fire though.
October 14th, 2009 at 7:35 am
god DAMN we gotta see a release of this album already. song is fire.
October 14th, 2009 at 3:40 pm
‘For your Sorrows’ is my shit too…
I can’t believe the labels are stuck on stupid holding this album back after all the millions ‘Kast has sold… I mean, I can believe it but damn..
October 14th, 2009 at 7:44 pm
he makes Tyler Perry sales
October 15th, 2009 at 1:01 am
Big Boi is still hungry. Kinda weird to hear him over such an obvious sample, but I like it. But I even liked him on Idlewild.
October 15th, 2009 at 8:30 am
Definitely nothing at all to do with the Block Beattaz – although putting that possibility out there does make one wonder why the fuck southern rappers are breaking down the Slow Motion Soundz studio door to purchase their consistently sumptuous productions.
Since there’s presumably still enough time before the album drops I’m gonna go ahead and suggest to anyone involved that’s reading this to hit up someone at Slow Motion Soundz and get to working with the Block Beattaz. You’ve potentially got one of the dopest album tracks of all time still dormant in CP and Mali Boi’s collective minds. Wake it up!! (please)

“Definitely nothing at all to do with the Block Beattaz – although putting that possibility out there does make one wonder why the fuck southern rappers are breaking down the Slow Motion Soundz studio door to purchase their consistently sumptuous productions.”
Well I think that has to do with the fact that they are staying in AL and not moving to Atlanta, as most producers do.
October 15th, 2009 at 11:28 am
I meant ‘aren’t’ btw, but you figured as much I see…
That’s the dilemma though isn’t it? Moving to ATL seems like the most glaringly obvious business decision not only for the Block Beattaz but for artists like G-Side and co as well in terms of links/exposure, but what I think makes BB production so enthralling is the fact that they are geographically and sonically removed from the centre ground, being ATL I guess, so there’s less risk of them moving towards the generic.
Basically being couped up in/strongly influenced by their surroundings in Alabama and disconnected from the rap scene at large so to speak, which I’m sure is claustrophobic in so many ways, produces a sound in the creative vein of Organized Noize in the 90s, which felt like it came from a pressure cooker inside a bubble (at least from the UK).
I know I’m not covering new ground here.. and there is a lot of great music coming out of Atlanta. I guess they could always just move to a very small apartment and turn the heat up.

davey boy, i couldnt have said it better…that was/is our fear…to not get lost in that creative jungle known as atlanta. our tempo was too “slow” and we didn’t quite fit the format…we really never attempted to comply because we knew that we did solid production and were content in our space, and when i say “production”, i mean production is track+engineering+concept=great song, and ship it the people that appreciate good music…don’t get me wrong, gucci moves me in the club, but they hustlaz so the art of the music is really their concern. we try and celebrate good music and get people hip to other sounds and music through our sample selections. really, huntsville natives take pride in our metro. we go to ny, dc, san diego, atl, nashville, houston, but we cant wait to get back to the crib cuz we comfortable in that space. we got our own language, our own style, our own speed, and its evident in our music. we trying to establish to the new form of the music business, recession business where your net worth is only as good as your network. we know our core following, and being isolated adds to the mystique of the company. We are Slow Motion Soundz…no ENT, no Music Group, just Slow Motion Soundz. We vowed not to let the industry dictate our sound or character. Im confident it will run across the right desk eventually, and it might be not be the artist or genre we are accustomed to supplying with “production”..who knows
