The R.E.D. Album is the upcoming fourth studio album by rapper Game. It is set to be released in late August, 2010 on Aftermath Entertainment/Star Trak under Interscope Records.[1][2]

Background

Game had confirmed that he would retire after his 2008 album, LAX.[3][4] However, he announced that he would release another album titled D.O.C. or Diary of Compton, if he could get help from the original N.W.A members.[5][6] In November 2009, HipHopDX interviewed Game and he stated that the reason he would not release D.O.C. this time was because he needed help and focus from Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg and the key elements were not there when he started the project. Game also stated "[What I was working on], the fans just started calling it R.E.D. for some reason, I don't even know. I had [previously] said that I would re-dedicate myself to Hip Hop, and they just took that and was like R.E.D. - rededicated. I went along with it, man" [7]

The first promotional single "Krazy" was released on November 10th 2009, followed by "Big Money" and "It Must Be Me" at later dates. The first official single is titled "Ain't No Doubt About It" featuring Justin Timberlake & Pharrell.[8]

Recording

Game recorded with Timbaland and Drumma Boy in Los Angeles.[9] Game revealed to MTV that he had been working with J. R. Rotem, Mike Lynn, Cool & Dre and hopes to get production from Kanye West.[10] In an interview with XXL, Boi-1da stated that he had given beats to Game for the album.[11] Game stated that Dr. Dre[12] and Pharrell[13][12] will be executive producing the album. However Game has recently stated that he is now "unclear" if Dr. Dre will be producing on the album.[14]In January 2010, Game revealed to Billboard that DJ Khalil had contributed to the production for the album.[15]

XXL confirmed features including Lil Wayne, Lady Gaga, Pharrell, Gucci Mane and Kanye West.[16] He revealed to Rap-Up that Chris Brown and Dr. Dre would be featured on the album.[17] Akon has also been confirmed to be featured on a track titled "Would I Be Wrong?" with production from Polow da Don.[18] Game confirmed a collaboration with Justin Timberlake saying that "I never thought in my life that I would ever work with Justin, and then for it to turn out and be as catastrophic as it was amazing."[19][20] He also confirmed that he enlisted Nicki Minaj for a feature.[20] Game recorded a song with Jim Jones and Jadakiss titled "Gangs in New York" which highlights production from Scoop DeVille.[17] Game revealed that he collaborated with Rick Ross, Robin Thicke, Ashanti,[21] Bow Wow [22], Beanie Sigel & Jay Electronica.[15] Game revealed that RZA also contributed to production to the album.[23] Game also stated that rapper Shyne would be a guest on the album. [24]

Music videos have been shot for "Shake" and "It Must Be Me". MTV premiered the video for "Shake" on April 27, 2010.[25] The video for the street single "It Must Be Me" is set to be premiered live on 106 & Park on June 4, 2010.[26][27] A video for the lead single 'Ain't No Doubt About It' has also been shot and is due for release later this month.[28]
