Jayceon Terrell Taylor, known widely as the Game or simply Game, is a prominent American rapper from Compton, California. He gained recognition in the music industry with his debut independent album, ‘Untold Story,’ in 2004.

His major-label debut album, ‘The Documentary,’ in 2005 marked the beginning of his rise to fame, followed by successful releases like ‘Doctor’s Advocate’ in 2006. Achieving Double Platinum certification by the RIAA, ‘The Documentary’ solidified the Game’s position in the hip-hop scene.
Acknowledged as a pivotal figure in reviving West Coast hip hop, the Game’s contributions were instrumental in reshaping the genre’s landscape.

His subsequent albums, including ‘LAX,’ ‘The R.E.D. Album,’ and ‘1992,’ continued to showcase his musical versatility and chart-topping ability. Beyond music, the Game diversified into acting and founded The Black Wall Street Records. Continuing his musical journey, he released acclaimed albums like ‘Jesus Piece’ and ‘Born 2 Rap,’ with plans for further projects such as the highly anticipated ‘Drillmatic – Heart vs. Mind.’ The Game’s enduring legacy and creative evolution solidify his status as a key figure in contemporary rap music.
