 | It's official! The Game announced today on his Instagram account that the long-awaited sequel to his 2005 debut The Documentary, will be released within the next month! In addition to that, he also released the album artwork. The album will be called [respectfully] The Documentary 2 and will be released on September 25th, 2015. |
This comes a year after The Game announced the original release date for the album, which was set to be earlier this year on January 18th. Clearly, that did not happen. However, with the recent success of the N.W.A. biopic Straight Outta Compton, and Dr. Dre's latest album Compton, it's safe to say that this a wonderful time for anything coming out of California. The Los Angeles native posted this message with the cover art today:
"To my true fans: it's been really dope to have you ridin' with me the last 10 years from the 1st Documentary til now.... I appreciate your loyalty & the patience you have displayed while waiting for me to finish #TheDocumentary2 & I am proud to give you my album cover shot by legend photographer & director @JonathanMannion (who also shot my 1st album cover) & graphic designer @CeoSelfmade for collaborating with Jonathan to bring such a classic image of me on the bridge in my hood....Cedar Block Piru in westside Compton, California... Everything about the photo shoot made me feel the exact same way I did when we were there 10 years ago & trust me when I say.... This album is better than my 1st for more than a few reasons.... But you don't have to take my word for it because you will see for yourself when it drops SEPTEMBER 25TH 2015 !!!! After Kendrick dropped his album, then Dr. Dre dropped #Compton then the movie doing 100 million after just 2 weeks..... This album will add to my cities continuous legacy !!!! I'm proud to be from #COMPTON & I wish #EazyE was alive to see us flourish yet again...... We on !!! This album cover represents the struggle to stay alive in a city where CRIPS & BLOODS have been at war since 1972 & it's because of you "THE FANS" I will again get to give you my documented accounts of life here in Los Angeles .... SEPTEMBER 25TH history will be made again #TheDocumentary2"
Although The Game unveiled the album cover and release date, we have yet to receive a tracklist for TD2. At this point in the game (haha no pun intended), we're happy just to get a definite release date! Check out the album cover below!
