Game Related is the second studio album by American rap group The Click, released November 7, 1995, on Jive and Sick Wid It Records. The album features production by Mike Mosley, Roger Troutman, Studio Ton and Tone Capone. It peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums and at number 21 on the Billboard 200.[4] Two singles were released, "Hurricane" and "Scandalous", and both appeared on multiple Billboard singles charts. The album features guest performances by Roger Troutman and Levitti, as well as one solo track for each member of the group.

Two music videos were produced to promote the album, one for "Hurricane" featuring a cameo appearance by Boots Riley of The Coup and another for "Scandalous" featuring Roger Troutman.

The album was certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on December 9, 1998.

The song "Hot Ones Echo Thru the Ghetto", was originally heard in the 1995 film, Tales from the Hood, and was also released on the film's soundtrack album.
