The Game confirms Dublin date

Tipped at one time to become a pro-basketball player – his buddy Baron Davis now plays for the LA Clippers – young Jayceon Terrell Taylor’s stint as a Cedar Block Piru Bloods drug-seller came to a violent end when he was shot and left for dead by a rival gang.

Coming to after four days in a coma, he decided he was going to do something positive with his life, and 12 months later was hanging with Dr. Dre.

Seven years later and The Game’s about to unleash his third album, LAX, which includes DMX, Betty Wright and Travis Barker among its diverse range of guests.

The Game comes to the Ambassador on December 16. Tickets, €46, go on sale on Friday October 17.
