NEW MUSIC: The Game x YG x Swizz Beats x Timbaland “Red People”

“Red People” is a single from The Game and YG (with production credits and featured billing for Swizz Beatz and Timbaland), It dropped hours before their West Coast VERZUZ battle (“Compton Forever”) that same night at Apple Music Studios in Los Angeles. The track is a Bloods/Piru-affiliated West Coast track built around the hook “I see red people” (a play on the Sixth Sense line “I see dead people”). Both artists rep their affiliations heavily. The Game with Compton/Westside references and red imagery, YG with Piru/400 Block lines.

The production has a classic, hard-hitting boom-bap/West Coast feel. It’s a straightforward street/West Coast collab leaning into shared LA roots and gang culture themes rather than a pure diss or crossover pop track.
