LOS ANGELES, CA. (Top40 Charts/ Geffen Records) - The Game's newest Geffen Records CD release, "LAX," hits national retail today, August 26. With a full-on media assault preceding its release,
The Game is confident that "LAX" will be the latest in a series of successful debuts on the national charts, much like its latest single "My Life," featuring Lil Wayne, has done to date.
Last week, the video for "
My Life" was one of the most-viewed on YouTube, with over 102,000 tallies. Just as importantly, "
My Life" was the most downloaded song on ITunes's rap digital chart.
"LAX" features an impressive line-up of hip-hop royalty, including Raekwon ("Bulletproof Diary"), Bilal ("Cali Sunshine"), Ice Cube ("State of Emergency"), Ne-Yo ("Gentlemen's Affair"), Common ("Angel"), Ludacris ("Ya Heard"), Chrisette Michelle ("Let Us Live"), Keyshia Cole ("Game Pain"), Nas ("Letter to the King"), LaToya Williams ("Never Can Say Goodbye") among the notable contributors.
In anticipation of what promises to be an exceptional first-week debut, The Game spent time in New York City stoking the flames of his huge fan base with an appearance on BET's "106 & Park." And on LAX's release day, The Game will appear on MTV's "TRL," host and perform during a CD release party at New York City's Fillmore at Irving Plaza, in conjunction with Power 105FM, and make a special appearance on "Jimmy Kimmel Live."
And that's not all: Plans are also underway for The Game and Bow Wow, both admitted "Madden NFL 2009 Video Game" addicts, to face off in an epic outdoor $100,000 battle, with the winner donating the proceeds to his favorite charity.
