Jayceon Terrell Taylor, known as Game (formerly The Game), grew up in Compton, California, in a gang neighbourhood. While recovering from gunshot wounds in late 2011, he decided to put a mixtape together. It reached the hands of Dr Dre, who signed him with 50 Cent and G-Unit. Game make his first appearance in the music videos for 50 Cent's "In da Club". He then went on to make numerous cameo appearances in music videos by 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Young Buck and Fabolous.

Game released his debut album, The Documentary, in 2005. It was a #1 Billboard 200 hit, going two times platinum. The album featured several hit singles, including "Westside Story" and "How We Do", but it was the single "Hate It or Love It" that shot him to instant stardom. This two-time Grammy nominated single reached #1 on the Hot R&B/Hip Hop songs chart and was nominated for a 2005 MTV Video Music Award in the category of Best Rap Video. Game was now a legitimate hip-hop star.

In 2006, Game released the successful follow-up album, Doctor's Advocate. The album debuted at #1 on the U.S. Billboard 200, making it Game's second number one album in a row. The singles "Won't Get Far", produced by Kanye West, and "Let's Ride", produced by Scott Storch, both reached the Billboard 100 Top R&B Hip Hop Albums chart.

Game continued his West Coast resurrection efforts with LAX. Released in 2008, it came within a hair of being the artist's third #1 album on Billboards Rap/Hip-Hop Album chart, just 1000 copies behind metal band Slipknot's All Hope is Gone. It included the platinum selling single, "My Life" featuring Lil Wayne.

Not satisfied with his music success after LAX, Game starred alongside Meagan Good and Tyrese in Waist Deep. The urban Bonnie and Clyde-like film opened on over 1,000 screens across the U.S. and grossed over $21,000,000.

Game's most recent release, The R.E.D. Album, debuted at #1 on Billboard's Top 200 album chart the week that it was released. R.E.D. is said to stand for Game's "REDedication" to both rap and family. It showcases production from Dr. Dre and DJ Premier and includes features from established south region stunners Big Boi, Young Jeezy and Rick Ross, that complement Game's West Coast collaborations with Snoop Dog, E-40 and scorching newcomers Kendrick Lamar and Odd Future's Tyler the Creator.

Game, who went from Gangsta to great musician right before the world's eyes, is considered to be the driving force in reviving the West Coast hip hop scene. He will be performing all of his hits plus tracks from The R.E.D. Album. This night of street bangers and pop pleasers is a must-see for all his fans!
