Claims by Nas that he would release a new album called 'Nigga' before the end of the year have seemingly been denied by his record label, Universal's Def Jam. Sources there have told FoxNews.com that they have no new Nas album on the release schedule at the moment, and are only aware of the greatest hits package due out via SonyBMG's Columbia, with whom Def Jam have collaborated on Nas releases. The Fox website quote a Def Jam source as saying: "There is no album release by Nas on the release schedule at this point. And they would be unlikely to release an album with that title. How would that look at Wal-Mart?" That said, representatives for both Nas and Def Jam have told AllHipHop.com that the rapper's next album will definitely be called 'Nigga', even if they can't confirm it will have a 2007 release.
