The R.E.D. Album is the upcoming fourth studio album by West Coast rapper Game, which is scheduled to be released somewhere around Late July to August 2011 through Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records.[1] The R.E.D. Album also marks a return to Aftermath Entertainment and Interscope Records, the two record labels that released his debut album The Documentary before a beef with former fellow G-Unit labelmate 50 Cent caused him to release his two following albums on Geffen Records.

Recording sessions for the album have been taking place at Ameraycan Recording Studios in North Hollywood, California, at Encore Recording Studios in Burbank, California and at Paramount Recording Studios in Hollywood, California during 2009 to present. Game has stated that Dr. Dre and Pharrell Williams will be executive producing the album. Production is also said to be handled by several other record producers, including Cool & Dre, 1500 or Nothin', Kanye West, Just Blaze, DJ Premier, No I.D., Jeff Bhasker, Swizz Beatz, Timbaland, Jim Jonsin, Drumma Boy, Scoop DeVille, will.i.am, RZA, DJ Khalil, DJ Quik, Nottz, Boi-1da, Hi-Tek, Maestro, Bangladesh, Mike Lynn, Ryan Leslie, TreBeatz, J. R. Rotem, Polow da Don, StreetRunner, J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League, Scott Storch, Dessy Des, and Tha Bizness, among others.

Background and development

When Game dropped his third album LAX in 2008, he said he planned to retire from music to spend time with his family and focus on what was more important to him. But sometime after the abums release he stated that Interscope Records didn't want him to retire, that they wanted him to come back in early February 2009 with another album, Game stated that it was so far off his radar and that it was ridiculous. He later stated "Now, if you give me like five, ten million dollars or something to do it…I'm the biggest thing in that building now, with the recent demise of G-Unit, and that's just it, man".Cite error: The <ref> tag has too many names (see the help page).

However, later in early May 2009 it was confirmed and announced that Game began working on a new album titled D.O.C. or Diary of Compton, if he could get help from the original N.W.A members, those including Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, DJ Yella, and MC Ren.[2][3][4] Later in late November 2009, HipHopDX interviewed Game about the albums status and he stated that the reason he would not release D.O.C. this time was because he needed the help and focus from Dr. Dre, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg, he stated that the key elements were not there when he started the project.

""The R.E.D. Album, people think the R.E.D. stands for gangbanging. I am what I am. [...] R.E.D. — that's rededicated. Rededicated to hip-hop [...] to my 'hood, Compton. Rededicated to my family, rededicated to everything."[4]

—Game talking about the delays on The R.E.D. Album

The album has reportedly suffered numerous delays since 2009. The first date for the album to be released was on December 1, 2009 but was pushed back to December 8, 2009 the date would be later pushed to December 15, 2009 later it was announced that the date would also be pushed back as well until February 16, 2010 due to Dr. Dre needing more time to finish production for the album.[32] The next confirmed date for the album to be released was June 15, 2010 but was changed to June 29, 2010.

Tour

On May 21, 2009 Game announced upcoming tour dates for performances in the United Kingdom for the summer of 2009. The West Coast-bred emcee made his first United Kingdom appearance since last December of 2008. Game returned to the United Kingdom with three live dates confirmed across the country. Game assembled a coast-to-coast US trek to support his latest effort, LAX.

Mixtapes

Game dropped his highly anticipated new mixtape, The Red Room, on April 26, 2010 with longtime collaborator DJ Skee. The tape was originally set to be one of DJ Drama's special "Gangsta Grillz" edition projects, but in the final hour, the rapper decided to make a change and go with DJ Skee after DJ Drama opted out when he heard a few of the jabs Game sent off in the recently released "400 Bars" song. So, as soon as Skee touched down in Los Angeles, California he went directly into the studio to begin mixing The Red Room. he re-released "400 Bars", mixed down with a slew of popular beats and renamed it the "Skeemix." The original version of the 20-minute freestyle hit the web over a week ago, featuring Jay Electronica's "Exhibit C" instrumental for its duration. While catching up with his in the studio recently, Game admitted "400 Bars" was probably the toughest freestyle he's had to record. He previously released "300 Bars", which was done over a few days, and a "360", but says "400" takes the cake.[35] The Red Room mixtape is loaded with star power: Nipsey Hussle shows up on the recently leaked "Ha Ha"; Lil Wayne and Birdman on a track "Everything Red"; Los Angeles-based Kanary Diamonds makes four appearances; Busta Rhymes, Hurricane Chris, Fabolous, and of course, Game's Black Wall Street camp: XO, K-Young, Menace, Maad Maxx, and Juice.

While fans patiently awaited the release of Game's fourth LP The R.E.D. Album, the Compton rapper dropped his second mixtape, serving as an appetizer for fans until the main course comes later that year. Game re-ups with DJ Skee who plays host for Brake Lights released on August 3, 2010, the follow-up to April's Skee-helmed mixtape The Red Room. The free mixtape—released via XXLMag.com—features guest spots from Snoop Dogg, Nas, T.I., Akon, Rick Ross, Waka Flocka Flame, Busta Rhymes, Robin Thicke and Shawty Lo, among others, and DJ Toomp, J. R. Rotem and Rich Skillz all handled the production duties.[36] In an interview with XXL Game stated that Brake Lights is like an appetizer to The R.E.D. Album. He then said "I know a lot of people been waiting on R.E.D., so I wanted to put out something to hold my them over, while I finish up my album".[37]

On January 24, 2011 Game released his third mixtape titled Purp & Patron hosted by DJ Skee and Funkmaster Flex.
