The Game abandons retirement plans

Hip-hop star The Game has put off his plans to retire from rap music - he is working on his fourth studio album.

Last summer, the 'Dreams' rapper claimed his third disc, 'LAX', would be his last because he wanted to spend more time with his young family.

The album was released in August and debuted in the US charts at number two.

Now The Game, real name Jayceon Taylor, has hinted he is making a return - by admitting he is started recording a new project, reportedly titled 'Global Warming'.

At a recent concert, the rapper allegedly told the crowd: "I love y'all, I swear to God I love y'all. I'm not gonna lie, I'm in the studio working on my fourth album."

Rumours suggest the forthcoming release will be produced in its entirety by hitmaking duo Cool & Dre.
