The Game's The R.E.D. Album has been delayed many times over, so it seems like a miracle that it's finally set to hit stores on August 23rd. The Los Angeles rapper will herald the release of the long-awaited record by performing on this evening's episode of The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. Given that The R.E.D. Album is overflowing with guest stars, it's pretty likely that he won't hit the stage alone, so don't be too surprised if Lil Wayne turns up for their new single "Red Nation."

“Too Close”

Next | 1998

Next was formed in Minneapolis when the uncle of Terry "T-Low" and Raphael "Tweety" Brown, who was a gospel choir director, introduced the brothers to Robert Lavelle "R.L." Huggar. Sounds of Blackness singer Ann Nesby groomed the R&B group before handing them over to Naughty by Nature's KayGee, who wrote and produced "Too Close." The idea for the song was sparked "from a conversation we had with several girls at a nightclub," explained T-Low. "It's talking about the club scene, with guys getting out of hand and the female telling him to back up, asking, 'What are you doing?'"
