Wale's highly anticipated debut, Attention: Deficit, finally had a release date of October, but it's been pushed back ... again.

However, the delay comes with good reason -- he's about to head on a major tour.

The rapper recently revealed to Rap-Up.com that he will hit the road with Jay-Z, and thus, his album will be delayed just a little longer.

"It got pushed back 'cause I'm going on tour with the biggest rapper of all-time. I'll let ya'll call it, but I'm opening up for him ... the boss," Wale told the site.

The tour begins October 9, and will hit not only traditional venues, but also college campuses.

"College kids like what we do, so we gonna make sure the college kids is happy," he explained.

Attention: Deficit is now slated for November 3.
