Yesterday, Desperado Entertainment filed a lawsuit naming Interscope, Aftermath and Universal Music Group in a lawsuit involving a royalty dispute with Rap artist Game. The Los Angeles company alleges that UMG has not fulfilled their agreement to pay Desperado royalties from Game's album sales, says The Hollywood Reporter.



The suit, filed in a Los Angeles superior court, asserts that Desperado had a role in Game's early success, leading up to his three albums released through UMG, totalling five million units sold. The company is motioning to delay Game's August 24 release of R.E.D., in an effort to address the matter.



Game and UMG has yet to speak publicly on the matter, or move the release date.

In an interview that was featured on France’s SkyRock radio Dr. Dre and Interscope’s Jimmy Iovine explained that Dr. Dre’s Detox single featuring Jay-Z, “Under Pressure,” was delayed because of the release of Eminem’s latest single “Not Afraid.”

HipHop-N-More.com reports that in the interview Dr. Dre and Iovine explained that Eminem’s single wasn’t planned to drop first and as a result the release of “Under Pressure” was delayed.
While “Under Pressure” may still be released as a single another track may now be released before “Under Pressure.” A release may come some time this summer.
In other Detox news Scott Storch, the producer behind the “Under Pressure” track, recently revealed that although many are skeptical about Detox’s release the album is still scheduled to be released this year. In Storch’s interview with DJ Skee he also explained that Detox is only three tracks away from completion.
A set release for Detox has yet to be announced.

Tomorrow, iTunes is expected to begin selling Game's single "Ain't No Doubt About It" , but fans of the Compton emcee will have to wait another seven days to purchase his fourth major label album, R.E.D. Announced this past weekend, the album has moved from June 29 to July 6.

No longer sharing a release week with Diddy and Paul Wall, Game will now hit the shelves on the same planned week as Big Boi's Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.



R.E.D. is co-executive produced by Dr. Dre and Pharrell Williams, to be released on Aftermath/Star Trak/Interscope Records.
