Game has tried to stay away from the limelight for a bit but he’s back. The rapper is ready to release his next album, L.A.X. He’s releasing his first single, the Keyshia Cole assisted “Pain” [click to listen], and he spoke about the song, the album and his current state of mind.
“It’s my third album,” he told MTV while filming his latest video. “I dropped the first album, classic. Came back with Doctor’s Advocate, classic. [Now] its number three on my road to being a Hip Hop legend. All my favorite rappers are legends, and I want nothing more than to be considered among the top, elite emcees.”
He also spoke on how the album’s title came to be.
“I decided on [the title] L.A.X. because that’s the major airport here. I figured people fly into L.A.X. coming and going. I consider myself like that airport, because anything coming through and leaving California gotta come through me.”
So, why Keyshia as a guest?
“Me and Keyshia came up around the same time. We always wanted to get in the studio together but never had the chance because both our careers took off at the same time. She blew to superstar status on the R&B side. I blew up on the rap side. I knew she would come in and kill it. And she did.”
L.A.X. hits stores July 8.
