Game Reveals Cover Art For ‘R.E.D. Album’.

“I had a meeting with [Interscope head] Jimmy Iovine last week, and he told me the album was slated for the end of the summer, and it will not be pushed back any more than that. So we’re looking towards late August,” he told Billboard.com.

In anticipation of his fourth album’s release, Game has shot the video for single “Red Nation” featuring Lil Wayne, lensing the clip with director Parris in Los Angeles last month. Branding the shoot as “pandemonium,” he likens it to other iconic visuals.

“It’s like ‘Mad Max’ mixed with Nas’ ‘One Mic’ video, where there’s riots going on in the background,” he explained. “We did this thing where I’m on top of a burning car rapping, and we had some flares and a lot of fire, fireworks and all of that. It’s definitely the most fun video I’ve ever shot, and I think it’ll be the best video I’ve ever shot to date.”

To tide fans over, Game dropped his 28-track mixtape Purp & Patron and its follow-up The Hangover in January and February.
