The Kanye West-produced album, entitled LAX, is rumored to be The Game's last, and features the likes of Nas and Lil Wayne. It is slated for an August 26 release.

Earlier, the Game had to change lyrics to a song that was thought to be a diss of Eminem and the late rapper, Proof.


Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy

As its title suggests, it sure is a long time coming, but Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy might just be ready for release.

Axl Rose has been working on the album for the past 14 years. Now, the album is supposed to be sold exclusively through retail stores in the US, with Wal-Mart and Best-Buy leading negotiations.

A track rumored to be from the album had also been leaked onto the internet earlier this year.


Jonathan Davis Discusses The Future Of Korn

While the future of rock veterans, Korn, is uncertain, frontman Jonathan Davis has opted to continue his musical journey with a solo project.

Davis has taken to performing with a stable of talented musicians under the name of The Simply F-ing Amazings. He plans to release a solo effort soon, which he says will be a departure from Korn's head-banging rock.

Korn is currently on something of a hiatus while members attend to their individual commitments.

Lenny Kravitz Not Fronting Velvet Revolver

Last week, we reported that Lenny Kravitz was seen in the recording studios with Velvet Revolver, leading to rumors that he was filling in the shoes for the rock group's frontman. Well, as it turns out, that's not going to be happening.

In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, Lenny Kravitz has personally denied the rumors, adding that even though he loves the guys at Velvet Revolver, he is too busy with his own thing and wasn't in contact with VR's people.

Well, it looks like the hunt continues for Slash and company.
