Big Boi told Vibe that fans can expect to hear the first single from his effort at midnight on New Year’s Eve.

He said: “I want all the stuff to be ’08, everything to be brand new. I’m going to put 12 songs on (’Sir Luscious Left Foot’), I’m finished with like nine right now. Production is by Organized Noize.”
