Rap legend, The Game returns in 2025 with ‘The Documentary 20th Anniversary Tour’. Marking twenty years since the release of his seminal debut album, The Game will play headline shows across UK and Europe through March-April 2025. As he prepares to hit the road, The Game is currently working on new studio album, The Documentary 3 – the third album in The Documentary series, set for release in 2025.

On its release in 2005, The Documentary debuted No.1 on the Billboard 200 and went double platinum in the US. Featuring iconic tracks such as “How We Do” “Dreams” and “Hate it or Love It”, the album set the tone for The Game to emerge as a driving force in reviving the once-dominant West Coast hip hop scene. The album went Platinum in Denmark, Ireland and UK, and Gold in Germany.

The Game emerged as one of the early-2000s rawest voices on the West Coast hip-hop scene, with intense autobiographical narratives and a hungry need to assert his lyrical presence. His name was firmly established with his 2005 studio debut, The Documentary, and the rapper moved tirelessly for the next decade-and-a-half, releasing a non-stop string of mixtapes, singles, and acclaimed albums including 2008’s LAX, 2011’s The R.E.D. Album, and 2019’s Born 2 Rap.

The Game was born Jayceon Terrell Taylor in Compton in 1979. Involved in the drug trade after a rough childhood, it took being shot during a home invasion to get him away from dealing drugs and into a life in music. Inspired by N.W.A, The Chronic, Doggystyle, and classic albums from 2Pac, the Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z, Game began rapping in 2001. His barbed and bold freestyles caught the ear of Dr. Dre, who brought the Game on as one of the first signees to his Aftermath Records roster in 2003 and executive-produced his debut. Released in 2005, The Documentary featured contributions from Dr. Dre and 50 Cent to Nate Dogg, Kanye West, and Just Blaze, making it clear from the outset that the Game intended to rise above the then-heated geographic divides.
