Atlanta rapper stat Quo has finally putting the finishing touches on his debut 'Statlanta'.

It's been a long journey for Stat. Since being released from Shady/Aftermath Records in 2008 after spending five frustrating years sitting on the bench, The dirty south mc finally has reason to celebrate.

He announced via his twitter account the good news on Tuesday (February 9).

"Mastering is done, Statlanta is 100% DONE!!! The credits will be turned in today and thats it. I will have my release date this week!!!"

Originally scheduled for a 2003 release, Statlanta will have production by Che Vicious, Hi-Tek, Key Kat Productions and Sha Money XL.

The album will be released through G-Unit producer Sha Money XL's Big Dream Ventures imprint.

For those that had not heard, Sha Money has signed a multi-million dollar film and distribution deal for Dream Big through Orchard, the world’s leading digital distributor of music. And will be releasing projects from Stat Quo, ex Lil Wayne affiliate Kidd Kidd and DJ Whoo Kid.

While we wait for the official release date of 'Statlanta', Stat tweeted we should be on the lookout for a new mixtape.

"Mixtape time!!! I got a few beats im ready to hop on....."
