The cover art was shot by world-renowned photographer Jonathan Mannion, who Game says captured his first album’s artwork. The “Hate It Or Love It” rapper went on to thank his fans for remaining true throughout his recording process. “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,” he revealed.
The black-and-white image also stands for something deeper, The Game said. In the same Insta-post, the 35-year-old artist stated, “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.” He also expressed his plan to continue the legacy of the West Coast in music following the release of Dr. Dre’s critically-acclaimed compilation Compton, and Kendrick Lamar’s To Pimp A Butterfly.
Look out for The Documentary 2 arriving Sept. 25.
