The Game – ‘1992’ (Album Cover & Release Date)

 

The Game is working hard on his new album 1992 which is expected to hit stores on September 30th and feature no guest artists.

After releasing the music video for his first single ‘All Eyez’ featuring Jeremih a couple of days ago, Game has unveiled the official artwork for the album today. The cover is created by famed artist Joe Cool, who was responsible for the iconic artwork for Snoop Dogg’s Doggystle album. The image has symbolic references to the year 1992.

Game explained the concept for the artwork in a lengthy Instagram post:

“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,” he continued.

UPDATE: Reposting the artwork today, Game has announced that the album will release on October 7th.
