Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind (or simply Drillmatic) is the tenth studio album by American rapper the Game, released on August 12, 2022, by 100 Entertainment and Virgin Music Label & Artist Services (now Virgin Music). It consists of features from Kanye West, Big Sean, Drake, among others. Across its other 30 tracks, production was done by high-profile producers, such as Timbaland, Swizz Beatz, Mike Dean and Hit-Boy, among others.\n

The album was supported by two singles, \"Eazy\" with Kanye West and \"Stupid\" with Big Sean. The album includes the tracks \"Eazy\" and \"The Black Slim Shady\", which are diss tracks aimed at comedian Pete Davidson and fellow rapper Eminem, respectively. The album also includes the song \"World Tours\" featuring Nipsey Hussle, although it remains unplayable on streaming services.\n

Background

The Game said on his social media profiles that Drillmatic would make listeners \"understand\" why he is \"the best rapper alive\", also writing that \"This album has a strong hold on being the best album of my career\". He had earlier said that part of the reason for the delay, along with sample clearances, was \"disloyalty on levels unimaginable by people I've trusted with my heart, money, career & livelihood\".\n

On January 15, 2022, the first single \"Eazy\" was released exclusively on Spotify before being added to other streaming platforms a day later, and was also released as the first single on West's album Donda 2. Drillmatic was initially scheduled for release on July 8, 2022, but was delayed.\n

Critical reception

Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind received mixed reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted mean rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album received an average score of 59, based on 5 reviews, which indicates \"mixed or average reviews\".\n

Matthew Ruiz of Pitchfork gave the album a 5.7 out of 10 rating, with him describing the album as \"exhausting\" due to its length and \"frustrating\" due to The Game's interpretations and references to other styles of hip-hop and older artists, acquainting them to Easter eggs rather than tributes or paying respect.\n

Commercial performance

In the United States, Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind debuted at number twelve on the Billboard 200 chart and number eight on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, opening with 25,000 album-equivalent units, marking The Game's eighteenth charting album in the country.\n
