The Game has announced his return to the recording studio to prepare for his fourth studio album The R.E.D. Album. He told the media that he has recorded songs for the LP but had not nailed down a particular concept as of yet. The R.E.D Album is destined to be in Fans Ipods and CD decks at the end of 2009.

"The R.E.D. Album, people think the R.E.D. stands for gang banging. I am what I am. ... R.E.D. — that's rededicated. Rededicated to hip-hop... to my 'hood, Compton. Rededicated to my family, rededicated to everything," Game tells MTV News.

The West Coast hit maker promised to make this album a 'serious' one. He plans to elevate his game to another level since he's no longer selling crack or gang banging on the streets. He explains that now he just wants to rap and admits that some already recorded tracks for the album are soulful. He has already worked with Timbaland, Drummer Boy, former Aftermath producer Mike Lynn, and J.R. Rotem. According to The Game, he is looking who work with Kanye West and has scheduled Cool and Dre to work with him in the studio.
