Game has returned to the spotlight over the past few days. Last week, he released his mixtape, Purp & Patron, which has become a success. The first single, "The Kill," has been accepted by Nas. Also, Game's mixtape has been co-signed by Funkmaster Flex.

Aside from "The Kill," one of the most popular songs on the mixtape has been "Heartbreaker." The song has been very popular with fans, critics, and other rappers. But, RZA was more familiar with the song than anyone else.

RZA filed an injuncion over the "Heartbreaker" song and forced Game to remove it from the mixtape. Game spoke about the situation, saying he found it crazy that RZA sued him. He said RZA sent him the beat and gave him his blessing to use it.

Initially, the song was going to be a part of The R.E.D. Album, but the sample was unclearable. Because of that, Game made it a part of the Purp & Patron mixtape. While Game was upset that RZA sued him over the beat, Game said there are no hard feelings. He has nothing but love for the entire Wu-Tang Clan, having worked with Raekwon on 2008's L.A.X.

Still working on his long-awaited The R.E.D. Album, Game is giving fans a gift for being so patient. Recently, the Compton rapper recorded a new mixtape. The mixtape is titled, Purp and Patron, and will be released later today.

The mixtape is headlined by his new single, "The Kill." Cool & Dre produced the new track and premiered it on AllHipHop.com earlier today. So far, the single has had a positive response and is a nice introduction to Purp and Patron.

Game will release the mixtape today at 4:20 pm. The time is no coincidence. The title is meant to go along with the time. April 20 is the day set aside for smokers, so they enjoy the day and the time and any number that makes up 420. Game is among the fans.
