The release of Chris Brown's new album has received the opposite treatment most get these days, as it has been actually pushed up to be released in early December.

Instead sitting in some warehouse until the 15th, Brown's new album, Graffiti will hit stores on December 8, sources are now saying.

Brown is reportedly attempting to take advantage of the publicity and buzz that's been bubbling since the release of the debut single I Can Transform Ya featuring Lil' Wayne.  

The single is currently riding high in the Billboard Top 10 R&B/Hip Hop charts, receiving a massive amount of radio airplay, and holding the #1 spot on the iTunes music video chart this week.

Chris Brown has also been making waves with the cover art for Graffiti, which features the singer in fitted clothing spraying animated characters.

Brown received a signifigant amount of negative feedback about his choice of clothing on the cover, to which he responded, "My fashion isn't limited to baggy azz jeans and fitted caps. I did that in '05. Cmon son. Hating is so lame..."

As previously reported, Brown is also said to be heading out on the road for a fan appreciation tour begining November 14 in Houston, Texas.
