Like most high-profile ‘retirement’ announcements, The Game‘s claim that last year’s L.A.X. LP would be his final studio album proved to be… well, greatly exaggerated. After six years of grinding, touring and – yes – engaging in high-profile beef with everyone from Jay-Z to
G-Unit , the rapper born Jayceon Taylor simply needed a breath of fresh air and a change of scenery. Now, the Left Coast icon’s many devoted fans will be happy to hear that Game’s back, rejuvenated, and thoroughly R.E.D.edicated to what really matters: the music.
The R.E.D. Album, Game’s fourth full-length, is shaping up to be a landmark project in several regards, not least of which is its high-profile pair of executive producers: Game’s early mentor, West Coast legend Dr. Dre (returning to work with the emcee for the first time since ‘05’s The Documentary) and superstar artist/beatsmith Pharrell Williams. Featuring buzz singles “Krazy” and “Big Money” (feat. Gucci Mane & Timbaland), the album is scheduled to land on store shelves sometime this February.
In part one of Game’s exclusive interview with our own DJ Z, the heavyweight rapper discusses the reasons behind his decision to drop the “The” from his stage name, why his reputation as a beef-lover is a misnomer, and the status of the D.O.C. (Diary of Compton) project he described to us back in June of ‘08.
