The Game is getting ready to add another chapter to his classic Documentary series with a new album, and he’s nearly at the finish line.
In a series of Instagram posts on Saturday (August 30), the West Coast spitter revealed that he’s close to completing The Documentary 3, the third in a series of albums that began with his 2005 debut and continued with a sequel a decade later.
“The Documentary is coming,” he wrote on the first post. “All you have to do is be patient & receive the blessing.”
“I been in the studio everyday for the past three weeks… 12-14 hours a day,” he continued in a follow-up. “[I] have been damn near able to complete this album in classic form through the support of my friends, family & fans.”

The Game talked about The Documentary 3 earlier this month, saying that he planned to release it 20 years to the day after his debut.
Apppearing on the Tacos & Shawarma podcast, The Game said: “I’m definitely gonna start the new album and I ain’t told anybody that. But yeah, The Documentary 3, I’m gonna go in hard and I’ma drop it the same day that the other one dropped. I’m up for the challenge. It’s gonna be tough.”

The Documentary — The Game’s major label debut and first (and only) project on Dr. Dre‘s Aftermath Entertainment and 50 Cent‘s G-Unit Records — was released on January 18, 2005. So if all goes to plan, fans can expect The Documentary 3 to drop on that date next year.
Despite his falling out with Dre and 50, The Game saluted both of his former collaborators for their involvement in The Documentary when the album celebrated its anniversary last year.
“18 years ago today…. A hip hop classic was born,” he wrote on Instagram. “All I wanted to do was tell my story & make sure my son would never live the life I did. @snoopdogg passed me the torch, @bustarhymes kept me focused… @drdre laid the foundation & @50cent helped put the puzzle together.”
He also shouted out Jonathan Mannion, the famed photographer who shot the album cover and booklet: “I took @jonathanmannion to the depths of Compton, California & showed him the heart of what I survived. He captured the essence of my city, my hood & brought to the world my vision. Always remember, it is no longer a dream once it becomes reality.”
The Game is gearing up to release the next installment in his iconic Documentary series with a new album, and he’s on the brink of completion.
