Last week at the Grammy Awards Nas and his wife Kelis hit the Red carpet wearing a t-shirt emblazoned with the title of his forthcoming album, 'Nigger.' Though Nas seems confident that his controversial title will fly, Def Jam Chairman Antonio 'L.A.' Reid is not so sure. When asked if the new Nas album will be released with the n-word title, Reid replied with, "We'll have to see."

According to Reid, the album, which was originally slated for a December release will drop sometime this spring. "Hopefully we'll get it in April or May," he said. "Something like that. Somewhere around there. It's getting there, we're getting close. Expect Nas to educate us without preaching to us. Expect him to give a point of view that maybe the world hasn't thought about. Expect him to really enlighten us."

In addition to the highly anticipated release from the Nas, Reid is looking forward to all of the Island Def Jam releases scheduled for 2008. "We have Mariah, we have Janet which comes out at the end of February," he says with enthusiasm. "We have a Ludacris album coming up. Lionel Richie, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross. We have a lot!"
