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 50 Cent.
"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 (see "Game Working On The Doctor's Advocate With ... You Guessed It ..."). 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.

props, i just hope dre has some kind of influenze on this album....becuase if he doesnt create a well enough buzz with the street single, and if his mainstream single are not that good, we could see him doing a "Vlade Divac" :)

Not over just the name but whats behind it, game being a faggot stripper n all
-
lol at the title of the potential single. plus this article confirms both parts(Game n Dre) won't say shit before the album is closed to drop... so Game is on Geffen now and Dre won't do shit on it
-
the doctors advocate - featuring 0 production from the doctor himself. maybe its time to change the name, i think that title was just wishful thinking somehow, game would have been yelling it from the rooftops if dre was actually confirmed to do anything for the cd...
-
Why is everyone just assuming that Game and Dre separated ways? We have not had a solid confirmation, just hearsay....
For all we know, they could have a top secret track on the album where Dre drops a verse or some shit. Just be patient.
-
hope he doesnt do the thing 50 did on the outta control remix. just use a saved beat.
-
Props on the article
-
Cool & Dre been comin with heat lately, I hope their "new sound" isn't some weird shiet.
