Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind (or simply Drillmatic) is the tenth studio album by American rapper the Game, released on August 12, 2022, by 100 Entertainment and Virgin Music Label & Artist Services (now Virgin Music).[8] It consists of collaborations with Kanye West, Big Sean, Drake, Ice-T, Fivio Foreign, Roddy Ricch, YG, Ty Dolla Sign, Moneybagg Yo, ASAP Rocky, Jeremih, Pusha T, Lil Wayne, 2 Chainz, Meek Mill, Dreezy, G Herbo, Blxst, French Montana, Tory Lanez, Rick Ross, Nipsey Hussle, Chris Brown, Blueface, Twista, Cam'ron, Chlöe, Cassie, and DJ Khaled across its other 30 tracks, and production from high-profile producers, such as Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Mike Dean and Hit-Boy, among others.

The album includes the January 2022 single "Eazy" with Kanye West and the single "Stupid" with Big Sean. The album includes the song "The Black Slim Shady", which is a 10-minute diss track aimed at rapper Eminem, and also includes the song "World Tours" featuring Nipsey Hussle, although it remains unplayable on streaming services.[9]

Background

The Game said on his social media profiles that Drillmatic would make listeners "understand" why he is "the best rapper alive", also writing that "This album has a strong hold on being the best album of my career". He had earlier said that part of the reason for the delay, along with sample clearances,[10] was "disloyalty on levels unimaginable by people I've trusted with my heart, money, career & livelihood".[11]

The album was initially scheduled for release on July 8, 2022,[12] but was delayed.[13][8]
