December 4, looks like you, me and the Ironman have a date with the record shop. Not only will Ghostface's highly praiseworthy verse from the well-interpolated "The Heart Gently Weeps" pop up on the Wu-Tang Clan's forthcoming album 8 Diagrams-- which, of course, drops December 4 on SRC-- but Tony Starks himself will have a brand new disc of his own on sale the very same day.

New Ghostface!? Believe it. The Big Dough Rehab will be out December 4 via Def Jam.

Peep this breathless Photobucket video (via Idolator):

Def Jam has confirmed that this is, in fact, true, and not just the dense, delirious ramblings of a dense, delirious rambler par excellence.

As for all that tour stuff Ghost talks about at the top of the video, we're already on it. Dates after the jump.
