“I actually produced this record for Game called ‘F.I.V.E.,’ featuring Chris Brown and Lil Wayne,” the Delaware based producer revealed to XXLMag.com. “That should be dropping anytime now. Supposedly it’ dropping Memorial Day Weekend, but I’m not sure.” The track is on pace to be the first new music released from Game’s upcoming album, which the California native announced to XXLMag.com would be called F.I.V.E.: Fear Is Victory’s Evolution back in March.

Sap thinks it’s a sound that should be familiar to fans. “It’s definitely got an East Coast style a little bit—it kind of reminds you of how that ‘Real’ joint is,” he continued, comparing the production on the upcoming single with a joint that he did on Meek Mill’s recent Dreamchasers 2 mixtape. “It’s not a South beat. It’s more of an up tempo beat, but it’s not a club record. It’s more of a traditional hip-hop beat, like a hard sample. It’s Game’s style but it’s still something you can hear Wayne on, too.”

The collaboration came about because of the young producer’s relationship with Cool & Dre. “I was just sending Cool & Dre music, and next thing you know they was like, ‘Keep sending beats, keep sending beats,’” Sap recalled. “They’re executive producing the F.I.V.E. album. And next thing you know, Cool called me and he was like, ‘Man, Game has this record called ‘F.I.V.E.’ It’s crazy. It got Chris Brown and Wayne on it, Wayne killed it.’ And then he was like, ‘It’s on your beat.’ And I was like, ‘Wow.’”

Are you excited to hear Game‘s “F.I.V.E.” single featuring Lil Wayne and Chris Brown ?

OK…so it’s not an engagement ring, but the gesture is still sweat. Chris Brown copped his girlfriend Karrueche Tran a sparkling diamond ring for her birthday and oh does she want the world to see it.

Posting a photo of her hand via Instagram, Tran writes, “kind of speechless right now…”

What girl wouldn’t be!

Broadcast Music Inc. (BMI) honored Ester Dean with the top honor as the BMI Pop Songwriter of the Year along with Benny Blanco and Pitbull. Dean, a coveted songwriter, composed several hot records that dominated the radio including Rihanna’s “What’s My Name?,” “Rude Boy,” and “S&M,” Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” and Katy Perry’s “Firework.”

In addition to receiving the BMI Pop Songwriter of the Year award, Dean and her co-writer Sandy Vee were awarded with the prestige merit as BMI Pop Song of the Year.

Dean has amassed a catalog of songs for pop icons including Rihanna, Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige and Beyonce, taking steps towards a solo career. In 2009, she took her first attempt as a singer, releasing the single “Drop It Low,” a collaboration with Chris Brown, that successfully landed on the Billboard Hot 100.

She took a breather following the single’s success, but is now more comfortable in her skin as an artist. Her latest record “Gimme Money,” is a radio friendly dance-driven synth track featuring Young Money artist Nicki Minaj.
