Y’all didn’t see this one coming, did you?

Surprise, surprise.

The Game is not retiring.

Towards the very end of this distorted-as-all-hell concert footage, the Compton problem child announces he’s currently in the lab working on his fourth studio album. Not much more is said. Yet, it’s still is worth mentioning since the 29-year-old emcee hasn’t said or done little of anything since announcing he was going to hang up his Chucks back in November.

As an audio bonus, here’s a track “featuring Lil Wayne” from Big Mike & DJ Thoro’s 4th Quarter Pressure v.3.
