It took L.A. rapper Game (he dropped the “The”) longer than expected to release his fourth studio record, The R.E.D. Album – which includes the returning partnership of Dr. Dre on a few key tracks – and to make up for it, the rapper is releasing his first book. Available in most digital forms with the paperback forthcoming, “The Making of Game’s R.E.D. Album” gives a detailed look in the studio and the obstacles Game faced that caused nearly two year’s worth of album delays.
“I wanted to give my fans a behind-the-scenes look of how my new album came to be. These are my stories in my own words,” the intimidating rapper stated in a press release. “This book is the only place where you’ll learn all the stories behind the music – how I got the beats, what inspired the lyrics and how the album was put together.”
To co-write the book, Game had the help of knowledgeable hip-hip journalist Soren Baker, who has written about Tech N9ne and Jay-Z in his esteemed “I’m the White Guy” book series.
