Following Streets Of Compton and Block Wars, The Game will release his third project of 2016 1992 sometime this year.

As such, he’s released the artwork for the album, which is drawn by OG Joe Cool (the artist behind Snoop Dogg’s iconic cover for his debut album Doggystyle), and has explained the concept via his Instagram page:

#1992 cover art [FOR GAME FANS ONLY] by @jo2cool_the_artist 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
