With buzz beginning to stir up for the upcoming Game and Young Buck mixtape, SOHH caught up with the man responsible for the project, Black Wall Street producer Nu Jerzey Devil to explain how the two former enemies joined forces and what to expect from the G-Unit dropouts.
News recently hit the net that Game and Buck will be releasing joint mixtape next month. Game associate Nu Jerzey Devil hit SOHH up with the details.
“[The mixtape is] not gonna be totally Game and Buck, but Buck will have some features on there, couple of songs,” Nu Jerzey Devil told SOHH. “Not even on some disses or none of that, we just gonna go ahead and make good music, ‘You Know What It Is Volume 5.’”
Prior to published reports, Nu Jerzey Devil confirmed that California’s DJ Skee will not be involved with the mixtape.
As of yet there is no official release date but the producer offered his predictions for when the final project should hit the streets.
“We ain’t got an exact date, ’cause you never know what’s gonna happen,” he said. “Everyday is a new day and the music gets better. We’re shooting for the second week in July.”
Aside from the upcoming mixtape, the BWS producer also gave SOHH the inside scoop on how Game and Buck got together despite the constant diss records aimed at each other.
“I was reading online [about] Buck having shouted out ‘F*ck G-Unit’ at a show, and then the idea came to me,” he explained. “ hit up Game about Buck, saying we should get him on the mixtape. Then I hollered at Buck and he was more than happy to hear about that and I put ‘em on a song. Real recognize real. They were the realest ones outta G-Unit anyway. So we went ahead and made it happen.”
In addition to the mixtape, The Game will also feature Buck amongst several other rappers on the remix to the Keyshia Cole assisted single “Game’s Pain,” off his new CD, L.A.X. The West Coast rapper plans to drop several regional remixes to the song, including a New York version, a Southern version and a West Coast mix.
“We gonna drop those on our XM Radio show this Friday.” Nu Jerzey Devil revealed. “You got Fat Joe, Bun B, Buck, Jadakiss - they all on there doing their thing. Until we drop it, we might just add more people to it. Expect it all.”
L.A.X. is scheduled to hit stores on July 22nd.
