The Game Reveals 'The Documentary 2’ Release Date, Cover Art

  /  08.28.2015

Ten years since his debut The Documentary, The Game is going back to where it all started.

On Sept. 25, the Compton kingpin will release the highly-anticipated sequel, The Documentary 2. The black-and-white cover was shot by the famed Jonathan Mannion, who photographed his first album cover. It shows Game in front of a chainlink fence on the bridge of Cedar Block Piru in Compton, where he grew up.

“Everything about the photo shoot made me feel the exact same way I did when we were there 10 years ago,” said Game.

He has been in the studio with heavy-hitters including Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Kanye West, Timbaland, Sevyn Streeter, and Keyshia Cole.

“This album is better than my 1st for more than a few reasons,” said Game. “After Kendrick dropped his album, then Dr. Dre dropped #Compton then the movie doing 100 million after just 2 weeks….. This album will add to my cities continuous legacy !!!! I’m proud to be from #COMPTON & I wish #EazyE was alive to see us flourish yet again…… We on !!!”

Dre also gave D2 his stamp of approval. “Dre said this is the best hip hop album in the last 5 years at least…… & we still here 10 years later,” declared Game.
