The Game’s highly-awaited album, 1992 is set to hit stores next month, and while the anticipation builds up, fans are looking to soon get their hands on the complete project.

Today, the West Coast veteran unveiled the official artwork for the album on Instagram. He explains the concept of the cover in a lengthy post by saying that he was inspired by what was going on in his life, his city, and the world when I was 12 years.

The cover art, which reflects an early era of the golden hip-hop years was made by Joe Cool, who’s also famously known for creating Snoop Dogg’s Doggystle album cover.

Check out the album cover for 1992 below and be sure to cop your copy when it drops on September 30th.

Hoodmorning (no typo) #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
