The R.E.D. Album will be the fourth studio album by rapper Game, to be released on December 8, 2009[2] by Interscope Records.
Background
Game, who debuted on a major label in 2005 with The Documentary, planned to retire after finishing his 2008 album LAX. Although there was a small chance of a fourth album when The Game said in a interview he would come back and do a fourth album if he could get Dr. Dre to executive produce the album and if he could work with former N.W.A. members he also stated that it it would be titled "D.O.C." (Diary Of Compton)[3] but non of this came to light.
In an interview in June 2008, Game asserted that Interscope wanted him to release another album in early 2009 rather than retire.[4] Although he wanted to retire, he expressed the will to put off retirement to record another album after LAX.
Recording
Maestro asserted that The Game was, in March 2009, recording this album in Atlanta.[5][6]
The album is slated to hit shelves in early December. "He's slated for an early December release," Rosemond said of the album.[7]
On August 8, 2009, while still on the Australian leg of his L.A.X. tour The Game wrote on Maestro's Twitter page calling him 'his new favorite hitmaker' and stating his track will be featured on The R.E.D. Album.[8][9].
Cool explained. The first day we went to L.A., we had already done a bunch of shit for him, and we’re just playing ‘em [and he's like] ‘All right, I’m ready to go in the booth.’ Boom, we knocked out like seven different ideas so me and Dre are like ‘Fuck, we done let all of our arsenal off in this first night!’ [laughs] Next day, [Game says] ‘What else you got? Let’s get it going!’ We let off all our arsenal, he recorded to seven, eight records on the first night. Laid a verse, a hook here, two verses here, a whole song. I’m like, ‘Yo Dre, he’s recording to everything we did on the way up. Damn, now we gotta start up some new shit with him.’ Certain artists we just have that great chemistry with, man and Game is definitely one of ‘em. [10]
Game revealed to MTV that the upcoming album would drop by the end of 2009. He's already enlisted producers such as Timbaland, and former Aftermath producer Mike Lynn.[11]
During an interview with XXL Magazine online in early October. Canadian producer Boi-1da, said he had been in LA with The Game, and that he had 'recorded a song to a few of my beats'.[12]
