Saturday afternoon, rapper Game officially announced his return to Aftermath Records. The announcement, made via the Compton star rapper’s Twitter page (@IHateGame), comes after pictures and statements already confirming Game’s musical reunion with one of his early mentors, Dr. Dre.
Claiming, “It’s funny how things come full circle. R.E.D.” Game linked to a photograph of him wearing four Aftermath medallions on chain necklaces. R.E.D. is the title of Game’s spring album, which may now carry the Aftermath logo.
Having released his multi-platinum debut, The Documentaryon G-Unit/Aftermath/Interscope in 2005, the Black Wall Street founder would later release his two subsequent releases 2006’s The Doctor’s Advocate and 2008’s L.A.X.on Geffen Records. Geffen, a sister-label to Interscope in the IGA (Interscope-Geffen-A&M) family. Many believed these actions were due to tension between Game and 50 Cent, Dr. Dre and even Interscope head Jimmy Iovine.
