With 97,879 copies sold since it was released on August 23rd, Game’s fourth studio project ‘R.E.D. Album.’ dethroned Jay-Z and Kanye West’s Watch The Throne as the #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart. The ‘R.E.D. Album.’ is Game’s third chart topping debut following 2005′s The Documentary and 2007′s Doctor’s Advocate which both went on to sell millions of copies worldwide. Game’s last album, LAX, started at #2 in 2008 and went on to gold certification.
“It feels amazing to be back on top,” exclaims Game. “My fans are incredibly loyal. I was able to step away from music for some much needed personal time with my family and now that I’ve returned with a new album, they’ve come out strong to support me. I wouldn’t be where I am today without my fans. Period.”
Game is dropping the mic and picking the proverbial pen to document the making of his ‘R.E.D. Album.’
“With my book, ‘The Making of Game’s The R.E.D. Album,’ I wanted to give my fans a behind-the-scenes look of how my new album came to be,” Game says. Music journalist Soren Baker — who has previously worked as an editor at The Source magazine — worked alongside the ‘Good Girls Go Bad’ rapper to craft the project.
“These are my stories in my own words,” Game says. “This book is the only place where you’ll learn all the stories behind the music – how I got the beats, what inspired my lyrics and how the album was put together.”
The book will feature memories and anecdotes from Game as well as his collaboration with the likes of Rick Ross and Pharrell Williams. The book will also touch on Game’s work with Dr. Dre, why Dre let Game use their track, ‘Drug Test,’ instead of putting it on ‘Detox’ and the true story behind their controversial, violence-tinged track, ‘Red Nation.’ (Boombox)
The book is currently available as a digital copy on Amazon.com, but will be out in print and on audio soon.
