Compton's own the Game (aka Jayceon Taylor) issued his debut LP The Documentary in 2004 through Aftermath/G Unit/Universal. With everyone from Dr. Dre and 50 Cent to Nate Dogg, Kanye West, and Just Blaze contributing to the album, The Documentary made it clear from the outset that geographic squabbles weren't a part of the Game's agenda. 

Having birthed the legendary rap group N.W.A. and the entire genre of gangsta rap, Compton, California has now spawned The Game. The Game's stats are almost the same as his mentor, 50 Cent: a former street thug who took five bullets and lived to rap about it who's now slinging a debut album helmed by Dr. Dre. 

The Game even has an "In Da Club"-like banger taking over dance floors--"How We Do," heading off his debut album The Documentary. An A list of producers like Kanye West and Just Blaze round out the CD. Although he's only been rapping since December 2001, The Game says with Dr. Dre on his team, he's got a "20 year head start on everyone else" in the...game, if you will. Start playing The Game now, a week before his album hits stores, exclusively on The Leak.

Rapping hadn't been at first, either. Having gotten involved in the drug trade after a rough childhood, it took being shot during a home invasion to cause an epiphany in Game. Inspired by N.W.A, The Chronic, Doggystyle, and classic albums from 2Pac, Notorious B.I.G., and Jay-Z, Game began rapping in 2001 and never looked back. 

His barbed and bold freestyles caught the ear of Dre, who signed him to Aftermath in 2003 and took the exec producer helm for his debut. It was delayed a few times, but The Documentary finally dropped in January 2005, buttressed by much buzzed-about singles like "Higher" and "Fresh '83."
