The road leading up to The Game’s “1992” album was an active one for the Compton native. Prior to ‘1992’ which is due to release this September, we have received soundtracks for projects he was apart of, ‘Streets of Compton’ and ‘Block Wars’. Each providing us with just enough music to hold fans down until his next studio album releases.
An album cover that is reminiscent of Snoop Dogg’s ‘Doogystyle’ (purposely done), it was actually designed by Darryl “Joe Cool” Daniel, the man responsible for Snoop’s cover. Here is what ‘The Game’ had to say about ‘1992’ cover which will be the general theme/storyline for the album.
#1992 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….. I thank @jo2cool_the_artist (most known for doing @SnoopDogg’s 1st album cover #DoggyStyle) for pulling off my ideas & putting them into a dream sequence for me…….. I know my REAL FANS have been asking for album artwork & I know you’ll all appreciate this as I finish up album & prepare to tour the world & see all of your faces !!!!!! I love & appreciate y’all & im happy to bring this cover to you guys today !!!! #1992 #NOFEATURES #TheBlackWallStreetRecords #eOne #5thAmmendment #BloodMoneyENT
