The Game Recruits Drake On THE R.E.D. Album


Compton, Hip-Hop star Game took advantage of an album delay to add some superstar fire power to his upcoming release The R.E.D. Album.

The R.E.D. Album, which was originally due in stores on June 15th, has been pushed back to August 24th.

Last Wednesday (June 23rd), Game was in Encore Studios in Burbank, California, where he linked with Cool & Dre, who produced three tracks on The R.E.D. Album.

In the studio with Game was chart-topping rapper Drake, who laid down a verse for the song “Good Girl, Bad Girl” and Queen Latifah, who was there to witness the session.

Drake is a breath of fresh air for everybody, he’s cool, clean and he aint got no drama or beef,” Game said. “The chicks love him, the n***as support him.”

Drake’s latest album received a lot of support, moving over 446,000 copies during the first week of its release, on June 15th.

Prior to the album’s release, Interscope changed the June 15th release date of Thank Me Later and Game accurately predicted Drake’s success.

“Me, I am just trying to feed my family and remain potent in Hip-Hop,” Game said. “I know the caliber emcee that I am and I know for a fact I am needed in Hip-Hop. I am one of the few cats left that really cares about the essence of Hip-Hop. I can’t disrespect the colorful Hip-Hop or the “drake” era, so I have to blend into what Hip-Hop has elevated to, but I have to stay true to my roots. It’s longevity with me. I have a whole new motivation. I love music and I love where its going.”

The R.E.D. Album is due in stores August 24th.

Lauryn Hill To Stage A Comeback After 8 Years


After eight years of musical obscurity, rapper and singer Lauryn Hill says she's now ready to record again.

"I think it's just time," Hill tells National Public Radio's Zoe Chace after her recent performance at the Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa, Calif.


Hill, who is now 35, earned herself an everlasting spot in the music landscape, thanks to her multi-platinum selling album "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" and her work with the Fugees.


Soon after taking home five trophy's at the 1999 Grammy awards, Hill left the music scene and kept under the radar, living a low-key life with her partner Rohan Marley (son of the late reggae singer Bob Marley) and their five children. In 2002, she briefly emerged from her self-imposed exile to help unveil her new material in 'MTV Unplugged"


For the past decade, the "Everything is Everything" singer rarely performed or granted interviews with the press, which helped stir rumors that suggested she had suffered an emotional breakdown.


Hill explains her absence, saying "the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place. There were things about myself, personal-growth things, that I had to go through in order to feel like it was worth it."
She continues to say that the demand of the music industry took a toll on her. "Oftentimes," Hill says, "the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society...And it's important that people be given the time that they need to go through, to grow, so that the consciousness level of the general public is properly affected."

But now that Hill's youngest child is 2 and "old enough" for her to be away from her family for a period of time, Hill is ready to start recording.

"I'm starting to get excited again. Believe it or not, I think what people are attracted to about me, if anything, is my passion. People got exposed to my passion through music and song first...And I think that can be infectious.
