A protege of rap’s pioneer Dr. Dre, The Game represents the city he was born and spent his childhood - Compton, CA. The Game has released two albums to date. “The Documentary” (Aftermath/G-Unit/Interscope), the debut album from The Game, has been heralded by some as the arrival of the most significant West Coast gangsta rapper since Snoop Dogg more than a decade earlier. With guest spots from the likes of 50 Cent and Busta Rhymes, as well as producers ranging from Dr. Dre to Kanye West to Just Blaze to Timbaland, “The Documentary” folds a variety of production methods into a critically acclaimed album. “The Doctor’s Advocate” (Geffen) took the today’s hip-hop to another level. Selling 380,000 copies in it’s first week even after a leak two weeks before, the album shows Game’s independence from Dr. Dre’s producing. With guest spots from Kanye West, Will.I.Am, Nas, Xzibit and others, The Game continues to bring in a variety of styles and sounds into a critically acclaimed album. The first single was “One Blood” featuring reggae artist Junior Reid. The second was “Let’s Ride (Strip Club”), produced by Scott Storch. The third single is announced to be the track “Wouldn’t Get Far” featuring and produced by Kanye West. |
