Game Talks R.E.D. Album

As we previously reported, West Coast rapper The Game recently announced his return to the recording studio with his upcoming LP, The R.E.D. Album.
Earlier this week, Game said though he really didn't have a concept for his fourth studio effort, he was still recording for the album.
It now seems as if everything is coming together as the 'Big Dreams' hitmaker sheds some light on the album due out at the end of 2009.
"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," Game tells MTV News.

"The R.E.D. Album is about to be serious, man," he promised.
"It's a step up. The R.E.D. Album, it's a little soulful, I gotta say. Still gangsta — we getting it in. I'm keeping everything on wraps right now. This album ... it's gonna be different."

"I was wondering to myself how I'm gonna elevate myself and even change the field. Three albums ... what do you talk about after three albums? I ain't selling crack and gangbanging and shooting sh-- up.
My beefs have been down-low. So what do you really talk about? I just wanna rap, man. I just wanna do music. Whatever it turns out to be, it turns out to be. Long as every song has that collective feel — they gel — then we good. I'm just gonna rap this time."
The R.E.D. Album is slated to hit stores sometime during 2009's fourth quarter. According to Game, he's already been in the studio with Timbaland, J.R. Rotem, Drumma Boy and former Aftermath producer Mike Lynn.
Cool and Dre are scheduled to come in on the album and he is also looking to work with Kanye West once again.
