Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf is the second compilation album[1][2] by American hip hop recording artist The Game. The album was released on October 14, 2014, by Blood Money Entertainment and eOne Music.[3] The album was supported by the singles "Bigger Than Me" and "Or Nah". Upon its release Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf received generally mixed reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200 chart, selling 33,000 copies in its first week of release.

Background

In December 2012, The Game founded a new record label, Rolex Records along with rapper Stat Quo.[4] Following its founding, he bought his entire team at the record label Rolex watches. After a six-month legal battle with Rolex, he was forced to change the name and logo of the record label. He officially would then change the name of the label to The Firm,[5] which then became Blood Money Entertainment.[6] The label signed West Coast rappers Skeme and Dubb as its first two artists.[7]

Promotion

On June 16, 2014, The Game released the album's first single "Bigger than Me".[8][9] The song heavily samples rock group Poliça's 2013 single "Warrior Lord". The second single off of Year of the Wolf, titled "Or Nah" was released on July 1, 2014[10][11] The album was originally scheduled to be released on September 16, 2014 but was pushed back a month for last minute touches and changes.[12] The Game held a contest in which the fans could design the album cover. He found it so difficult to pick a cover that he pushed back the winners announcement twice. Finally, on September 4, 2014 he announced that Instagram user "xoramos661" had made the cover he would use for the album.[13]

}}Blood Moon: Year of the Wolf received mixed reviews from music critics. David Jeffries of AllMusic said, "More a misrepresentation than a failure, Blood Moon is a loose label comp that would do fine living in the forgiving lands of stopgap and second tier. Labeled as a Game album proper, it's a serious dip."[14] Kellan Miller of XXL stated, "With a heavy heart and head against the backdrop of soulful, funereal sounding instrumentals, The Game puts together two of the deepest, enduring cuts in his entire catalog." However, he characterizes much of the album as "filler".[16] Dean Mayorga of HipHopDX said, "The album ultimately fails in establishing a balance and plunges into unfocused aggression."[15]

Commercial performance

The album debuted at number seven on the Billboard 200, with sales of 33,000 copies in the United States.[17] In its second week, the album dropped to number 31 on the chart, selling 9,000 copies.[18] The album has sold 80,000 copies as of October 2015.[19]
