Music has the power to instantly set a mood, whether it be sad, serious, or fun. So when Ray J began working on his Atlantic debut, "THIS AIN'T A GAME," his goal was to inject the energetic, raw vitality so often absent from R&B.  At the urging of Ray J's keen music tastes, he summoned the best producers around to contribute to the new "THIS AIN'T A GAME." The Neptunes (Kelis, Mystikal, Jay Z) produced "Wait A Minute," featuring Lil' Kim.  Bryson Evans and Lil' Mo, solo artist and one of Missy Elliot's writing partners, produced the anthemic "I Tried," a fictional account of a girlfriend gone ballistic. And up-and-coming producer Antonio "4Eva" Mobley has composed the hot album pick, "Where Do We Go From Here," a standout ballad that stresses the strains extensive traveling puts on relationships. On the flip side of that sentiment is the hip hop-flavored, Neptunes-produced "Formal Invite," a sex-fueled joint that sees Ray J complemented by a rap from Neptune Pharrell Williams.
