Game Teams With Nas And Mary J On His New LP

When Game talks about "one blood," he's not talking about plasma. The Compton, California, MC is shouting out his affiliation and letting the world know his new album, The Doctor's Advocate, is coming soon. On Monday, he released his new song,"It's Okay (One Blood)."

The beat incorporates a sample and loop of Junior Reid's reggae classic "One Blood." According to Game's camp, newcomer Reefa produced the track.

"The 'Math gonna drop him, if 50 ain't rockin' with him no more," Game raps, referencing the rumors that he had been dropped from Dr. Dre's Aftermath label in the wake of his beef with wack rapper #1.

"Everybody knows I'm the heir to the Aftermath dynasty," he continues, reaffirming his allegiance to the Doc.

Months ago, Game's manager, Jimmy Henchman, said his client would in fact work with Dr. Dre on The Doctor's Advocate, but there has since been no confirmation from Game or Dre about new collaborations.The controversial lyricist has definitely been in the studio with another Dre, though: one-half of Cool & Dre, the duo who produced The Documentary's Grammy-nominated single, "Hate It or Love It."

"We gave him some really hot records," Dre of Cool and Dre said recently in L.A. "We gave him this record with Mary J. Blige. [it's] another soulful record. Mary flipped it. We was in the studio — it was Mary, me and Cool, Game. The record is so beautiful. I believe the Mary song is called 'People.' Then we did a record with him that's so phenomenal that's up for first single status. This record is called 'Stop.'

" 'Stop' is something you never heard before," he continued. "Me and Cool got this really new style. The beat is hard, but melodically, it's new. It's on some 'Twilight Zone' sh--. It [goes,] 'Stop/ When the lights go out and the music go off.' It's crazy. The Game is spitting crazy on it. We actually did three records for his album. We did another one that Nas is on."

The Doctor's Advocate has a November 7 release date, and while "It's Okay (One Blood)" is still considered just a street single — not the proper first single — there are plans in motion to shoot a video for it. There's a Scott Storch-produced cut called "Strip Club" that is being talked about as the official first single, but no plans have been finalized.

In the beggining Game`s album seems dope. But aftera while I only realy enjoyed a couple of tracks.. I love "We Aint". Thats just sick. "Life From Scratch" is nice 2. "Dreams" is allways good. But that happens allot of me. I had the same thing with Juelz`s Album.

"The Documentary" had some good songs on it but I think the heavy influence of G-Unit brought it down a lil' bit, now that he's away from there I think that this album'll probably turn out better, he got potential...

He's definitely got potential, there's no doubt about it, even with 50 on the last album you could see that. The collabo with Nas is what I'm really looking forward to, this album should be a good one.

I liked Games first album. I loved "Hate it or love it", "Don't need your love", "Dreams", "Like Father like son" and a few other tracks. Apart from 300 bars and running and a few other tracks his mixtape cuts weren't that good, lets hope he is saving his best for the album.
