Two days after Purp & Patron hit the net, Jayceon reveals to Complex that the Dr. Dre-produced tracks (The Ocean x The Shodes w/ Ashanti) are in fact new (sorta).
Everything on that is new. [I recorded the songs with Dre] probably a couple months ago in late July. I was just trying to fill a mixtape, so I just put as many shits as I could. They didn’t necessarily have to be Dre songs, or Cool and Dre. I just was going through the hard drive and whatever I found that was of good quality and recent recording, I gave to Skee. And some of those had already leaked, maybe a verse or hook. The whole version didn’t leak, so that’s why I threw the Dre joints out because they had already leaked. [In terms of having a song with Ashanti], I don’t think she was riding with anything. She separated herself from the beef if anything. Dre called me and was like, ‘You ever work with Ashanti?’ and I was like, ‘Nah.’ He was like, ‘Are you opposed to it?’ And I said, ‘Nope.’ So we did it.
After the jump he speaks on the oft-delayed R.E.D. Album.
I think The KIll is the only song [off Purp & Patron] with enough potential to make it on The R.E.D. Album. The R.E.D. Album is pretty much 95 percent done. Until I find a record that is just so amazing to me, and it’s next level and doesn’t sound like anything that’s out, and makes me feel comfortable with it being played on the radio and shooting a video to it, I won’t give R.E.D. Album a date. At this point it’s pretty much in my hands. I had a meeting with Jimmy Iovine and the label heads about a week ago and they gave me the green light to kind of pick a date when I want. The album is so classy, that I can’t sell it short with any single man. I wanna come with the right song, and make sure it’s a song that’s classic and iconic, and then we’ll know. I’m recording every day for no reason. Pharrell is executive producer and it ain’t gone change. I got Dre producing on the album, I got Premier. Like all the people I’ve wanted on one album, are on this album. I knocked out like two, three joints with Premier before I left on tour, so maybe shit, the end of like October, but, I’m probably gonna use one on the album. Premier sent me the joints he did. Something he don’t never do. Premier don’t send you shit through email, but we’ve been meaning to catch up to each other and work, and he was doing some stuff with Christina Aguilera and some other things so he be everywhere. So he ended up saying, ‘I’ll just send you these joints. I made this for you.’

wow. Great news.
Purp and Patron was sick…if he threw away that many tight songs I think RED will be pretty tight.
R.E.D. album of the year word is bond.
Purp and patron untagged dropping plus 10 new tracks say what?
Game time nigga!
west side all up in yo ASS
U aint never seen a eastcoast nigga do shit like game did since biggie
“I had a meeting with Jimmy Iovine and the label heads about a week ago and they gave me the green light to kind of pick a date when I want.”
Bet money he drops it same time Fiddy tries to drop his album(Unless fiddy still got a album on interscope/aftermath)
P&P is the shit, can’t wait for RED.. Oh wait, everybody’s already waiting for it. We need that shit son!
HELL YEAH
I agree with The Kill being strong enough for the album, that shit is classic.
RED album + Dj Premier = DOPE
only P&P i know is kendrick lamar
STS version of the kill is better and dead was an album quality record 1500 or nothin’ is nice on the production
Yeah “The Kill” is def album worthy, everything else … not so much. But it was a dope tape, but you could understand why those songs are on a mixtape.
But Game prolly released the dopest album/mixtape of January….
mixtape of the year!!!! (so far, lol)
the kill been had before by other artists aint none new but games lyrics shit aint album worthy fuk on out here nikka
NIGGA WHAT ABOUT YOUR ALBUM????????? THE ALBUM??????????? RED ALBUM????????????? SMH
nigga dun leaked the whole album and aint nobody give a fuk
At least he’s not promising a certain date [anymore]. – Hopefully its worth the wait tho. He’s still one of my favorites so I’ll be very disappointed if it isn’t.
these are just prob throw aways from his album…wat you mean aint nobody give a fuck lol it got 125,000 downloads in 2 hours..?
WTF ???????? the beat from “The KIll” is from L.E.P. Bogus Boys – Goin’ In For The Kill .. they from chicago and shoot a video for that track .. they kill it more than game. annnd thats aint games track is a remix (mixtape track) and he will put a another ones track on his album ???? WTF
The R.E.D. Album is pretty much 95 percent done.
And you still looking for a single? And when it comes to Radio we know what to expect….Just Drop The F***in album….let it go. Don’t try to pull some Detox shit on the Fans G.
@flymoney your boys from the chi remixed it too, so did the 28190 other artists. its originally a la roux track
“The album is so classy, that I can’t sell it short with any single man.”
Uhmmm, what about using one of those “classy” songs from the 95% ready album?!
Guys… he’s not the one delaying, Interscope is. See, now Jimmy told him he can set an OFFICIAL release date. So that means no delay anymore.
