New Music: Game f/ Jamie Foxx – ‘Hallelujah’

Game

Game tries to balance religion with his unorthodox lifestyle on “Hallelujah,” one of the songs that will appear on his fifth album Jesus Piece. The West Coast MC praises the Lord and hollers at bad bitches while a gospel choir and Jamie Foxx sing out over the soulful beat.

“Bad bitches in here, forgive me for my sins/ I ain’t mean to walk inside a church cursing again/ I want to live righteous and you know I love Jesus, but you can’t catch the holy ghost in the Prius,” raps a conflicted Jayceon.

You can now listen to snippets and pre-order the album on iTunes prior to its December 11 drop date.

Shyne

The war of words continues. Shyne fires back at Game on “Psalms 68 (Guns & Moses),” which comes just days after Game’s latest diss “Cough Up a Lung.”

“This is blasphemy, your whole entire career patterned after me,” raps the Belize MC in front of the Harley-Davidson shop in Paris. “Get what you came for, you the big bad Blood, what you scared for?/ I shoot that butterfly off your face/ Tell Jesus peace and I’ma smile at your wake.”

The beef started after Shyne called Kendrick Lamar’s debut good kid, m.A.A.d city “trash,” prompting Game to step in and defend his fellow Compton MC.

Album Cover: Game – ‘Jesus Piece’ [Standard Edition]

Jesus Piece

Game ignited a firestorm of controversy with the deluxe cover for Jesus Piece, which featured a portrait of a tatted Jesus wearing a bandana and Jesus piece chain. But the Compton rapper takes a different approach with the standard cover, paying tribute to his late brother.

The black-and-white artwork features a photo of Jevon Danell Taylor’s obituary with the words “In Loving Memory Of…” above it. Jevon was only 20 when he was murdered at a gas station due to gang violence. Game explained the decision behind the cover.

“I let my son write my name & the album title on it & in that moment I felt a connection between who I knew my brother to be when he was Harlem’s age & my son now,” he wrote on Instagram. “That moment was the closest my son will ever be to my brother & that alone is the reason I felt I should share it with you.”

Due December 11, the star-studded Jesus Piece features the single “Celebration,” plus appearances from J. Cole, Young Jeezy, Future, Trey Songz, Kanye West, and more.
