The Game is an American rapper that was born Jayceon Terrell Taylor on November 29, 1979 in Los Angeles, California. He grew up in the gang infested neighborhood of Compton where he would eventually end up joining the street gang, the Bloods. The Game was discovered by Dr. Dre in 2003 and was signed to Aftermath Entertainment that same year. His debut album was released in 2005 and was titled, The Documentary. It has since sold over five million copies worldwide. The Game than returned to the studio and in November of 2006 released his sophomore album, Doctor’s Advocate. The album was dedicated to his long time mentor Dr.Dre. On August 22, 2008 he released what was rumored to be his final album LAX. This album debuted at the number two spot on the Billboard Top 200 with almost a quarter million copies sold. Though The Game had repeatedly said that he would retire after the tour for this album, it has been confirmed that he is working on a new studio album entitled The R.E.D Album. It’s scheduled to be released through Interscope Records sometime in 2009. The Game has said that he didn’t retire after LAX because of pressure from Interscope Records to release another album.
