The Game
Once America’s infatuation with Lil’ Wayne and the birth of his new album, “Tha Carter III,” slowly fade away, the hip hop nation will gradually gravitate toward the buzz of the next biggest release. In the past, consumers have been forced to wait months (sometimes longer) before another potential “classic” made its way onto store shelves. For anyone who has a calendar and a Sharpie, however, we have the exact date to circle.
In spite of two delays over the past six weeks, rapper The Game will drop his highly-anticipated third studio album, “L.A.X.,” on July 22. Leading the project toward the ‘Promised Land’ is the Keyshia Cole collaborative single, “Game’s Pain,” which has seen an increase in radio play over the past month. Though the Los Angeles native previously insisted that his recording career would end after his third album, “L.A.X” might not yet be the rapper’s final recording chapter.
In an exclusive interview with DJBooth‘s DJ “Z,” The Game steps inside the booth to discuss the anticipation of “L.A.X.”, the influence of his music on the streets of Los Angeles, being snubbed by MTV’s “Top 10 MC’s” list, and why retirement announcements following his forthcoming project might have been premature.
