Over the summer, Game spoke up for his LP’s mixture of hard raps and religion.

“I’m calling [my new album] Jesus Piece ’cause last year in August I got baptized and so I’ve been going to church, but I still been kinda doing me out here,” Game said in an interview. “I still love the strip club and I still smoke and drink. I’m faithful to my family, so I wanted to make an album where you could love God and be of God, but still get it poppin’ in your life.” (Jenny Boom Boom TV)

In August 2011, the rapper’s R.E.D. Album debuted at number one.

West Coast rapper Game’s The R.E.D. Album debuted this week at No. 1. According to Nielsen SoundScan, the rapper’s fourth solo LP has sold 97,900 units to date. Jay-Z and Kanye West‘s Watch the Throne moved 94,200 records in its third week. (SOHH Sales Wrap)
