2016 ist ein releasestarkes Jahr für The Game. Nach „Streets of Compton“ und „Block Wars“ hat der Rapper von der Westcoast mit „1992“ ein weiteres Album in der Pipeline. Erscheinen soll der Longplayer im September, einen ersten Vorgeschmack bietet die Single „All Eyez“ mit Jeremih. Das Video dazu gibt es hier. Das Cover wurde von Joe Cool kreiert, der sich bereits für das legendäre Cover von Snoop Doggs „Doggystyle“ verantwortlich zeigte.
The Game über das Cover
„the cover art is inspired by what was going on in my life, my city & the world when I was 12 years old coming into my teenage years: The Los Angeles Riots, Michael Jordan & the #DreamTeam featured above on my shirt won Olympic Gold… Crips & bloods were both pulling me in both directions & joining one of the gangs was almost a normality for a young African American male growing up in Compton & the surrounding areas of Los Angeles County….. Rodney King getting abused by the cops was an unforgettable incident & caused mass hysteria worldwide & the famous OJ Simpson car chase/trial was a huge worldwide televised situation that racially divided a country…. So these are some of the many topics based around my childhood touched on in this album Thst I wanted to include in the artwork“
Snoop Dogg – Doggystyle
