Big K.R.I.T. Pushes Back Debut Album

I know I've been going on and on about all of the albums and EPs dropping on September 27th, and I was hype for every single one of them to be released.  Unfortunately, due to unknown reasons at the moment, Big K.R.I.T.'s Def Jam debut album Live From The Underground has been delayed until at least 2012.

Big K.R.I.T. confirmed this today through a retweet, which you can see for your own eyes here.

I'm a little confused by the delay.  I can understand pushing the album back for a few weeks in an attempt to maximize sales and diffuse the competition, but pushing it back until next year?? Live From The Underground is completed, his following his tremendous, and I think that the label should take advantage of this peak in his popularity to release the album.  As long as he continues to release great music and promote, hopefully his following will be just as large, if not larger, in 2012.
