In a new interview with XXL, Game has announced the title of his fifth studio album F.I.V.E.: Fear Is Victory’s Evolution.

“The meaning behind that is like—me as a rapper, you as a journalist, Kobe as a basketball player—you gotta be afraid to do something, or have those butterflies in your stomach,” he explained about the title. “We all get that feeling. Before you did your first interview, you probably was like, ‘Damn, I don’t want to ask the wrong questions. I want to do this right.’ Me, before I wrote my first rap, or the first time I was in the booth. Fear. But then fear is victory’s evolution. After a while, you become a dope journalist, I become a dope rapper, Kobe is Kobe. You achieve and you pass over that fear. Now it ain’t fear; it’s just victory. It’s victory of all.”

Game also hints at leaving Interscope after this album:

“Jimmy Iovine is, shit, probably weeks out from opening the budget for my fifth album,” the Compton native said. “And then once I do this F.I.V.E. album, it might be a wrap. We’ll see. I know somebody going to give me some millions before I do anything. I see myself getting a lot of money to carry out the remaining time in my career. It don’t really matter where it’s at—it’s just the imprint on the back of the album.”

“The song is Top 20, Top 15, we felt that feeling before, because when we dropped ‘All The Way Turnt Up’, that thing went crazy in a matter of months,” group member Quez explained to AllHipHop.com. “So we are used to feeling the hype. It feels good to go to people’s states and being able to take n****s b*****s and s**t."

“Remix hasn’t dropped yet, but I f**k wit Rick Ross verse,” Quez continued. “It feels good to feel people diggin yo’ s**t and feeling it, something that you made and having your verses heard by big names.”

It don’t stop though, just since you get signed. You get the bigger push, that bigger look. It’s like radio, and radio costs.”
