Jay Worthy Drops 'P of the Week' Video Game Before George Clinton LP

August 19, 2026 - 17:01

West Coast rapper Jay Worthy is switching lanes from the booth to the console. The artist just released a playable video game titled "P of the Week," a retro-style arcade experience that drops a couple of weeks before his highly anticipated collaborative album with funk legend George Clinton hits streaming services.

The game leans into a pixelated, old-school aesthetic, drawing heavy inspiration from the 8-bit and 16-bit era. Players navigate a series of levels that mirror the gritty, laid-back energy of Worthy's music, with the goal of collecting "P" tokens while dodging obstacles and enemies that feel pulled straight from a forgotten NES cartridge. It is a short, punchy experience designed for quick sessions, but it carries the same attention to detail that Worthy applies to his records.

Fans who have been waiting for the Clinton project now have something to tide them over. The album, which blends Worthy's streetwise storytelling with Clinton's cosmic funk production, is expected to be a genre-bending affair. The game serves as a clever promotional piece, giving listeners a tactile way to engage with the upcoming release without spoiling any of the music itself.

Worthy has always been known for his multimedia approach, often referencing films, fashion, and now video games in his work. "P of the Week" is available now on his official site for free play. The George Clinton LP is slated to arrive in mid-October, and if the game is any hint, the album will be just as playful and unexpected.
