GAME HOPES TO HEAL WOUNDS W/ $10,000: THIS HURTS MY HEART

EWest Coast rapper Game is showing the world he is much more than a hip-hop artist by revealing plans to donate $10,000 to assist with relief efforts overseas in the Philippines.

Game broke the news of his generous offering to the masses on Friday (November 15).

"In this process, not that much has changed," DJ Babu says, speaking exclusively to HipHopDX. "You "d be surprised how easily you fall back into your roles and understand where you fit in with each other. Being in the studio is definitely something that we love and something that we would probably do whether we had a Dilated album to work on or not. We "re like studio rats. Ev was definitely producing the shit out of this record. All of us, but Ev was really striving for a sound. We still are striving for a particular cohesive sound that we "re trying to get. Things have changed since we "ve been around, but we "re trying to walk a fine line between keeping it classic and pushing it forward...We "ve spent a lot of time sharpening our swords and I feel like Ev "s been leading us in that direction, to really try new things while still being us."

The newest Cash Money Records signee also revealed how his fans could support the relief cause.

"It is in these times where we as people of this world get the opportunity to unite with one another & give back, help aid, lend a hand, donate or just send prayers....... Well I am one of those people, so on behalf of @therobinhoodproject & my charitable partner @DanBilzerian we are donating $10,000 to help aid in the relief efforts to restore whatever possible in such a horrific natural disaster. My heart goes out to the families & friends of those who perished for only God knows I could not deal with the loss of any of mine. If there "s anyone out there who would like to donate anything.... UNICEF.org/Philippines or REDcross.org & to directly help the families go to www.worldvision.org/Haiyan now !!! I am sure they would appreciate any sum of money donated. Thanks for your help & follow @therobinhoodproject NOW as well as hashtag us at #TheRobinHoodProject to tell us about/keep up with other stories. Thank you - The Game" (Game "s Instagram)

Back in September, the California rapper convinced labelmate Drake to help donate $10,000 to a woman who lost her family to a horrific fire.

Drake and The Game are teaming up to help cover funeral costs for 6 people -- including 5 young siblings -- who died in a tragic house fire in Ohio ... even though the rappers didn "t know the victims. The Game got the ball rolling after learning about Anna Angel -- who was working her shift at Burger King when a fire consumed her home while her 5 young children and her boyfriend were trapped inside. There were no survivors. Game Instagram "d about the tragedy ... saying, "I can deal with a lot of things but people losing their children is something that kills me every time."The Game -- who recently pledged to donate $1 million dollars to people in need as part of his Robin Hood project -- says he was on the phone with Drake when he read about the woman "s loss ... and they each agreed to donate $10,000 to help Anna cover the burial costs.

Earlier this year, the former G-Unit member helped fund a slain six-year-old "s funeral.

Compton native The Game already donated $10,000 to help cover funeral expenses, according to reps for the musician. Tiana and her father, 26-year-old Tyrell Ricks Jr., were among the party guests Sunday at a house in the 25000 block of Harker Lane in Moreno Valley, witnesses said. The victims and others were reportedly standing in the driveway about 9:45 p.m. when two men walked up to them, asked a question and then opened fire. (KTLA)
