American rapper The Game is set to appear for an exclusive date in Bournemouth this winter.

As part of his ‘Drillmatic’ UK Tour, the artist will be performing at the O2 Academy in Boscombe on December 7.

Better known by his stage name The Game, Jayceon Terrell Taylor rose to fame in 2005 with his successful debut album, The Documentary, and two Grammy nominations.

He has been considered a driving force in bringing back the West Coast hip hop scene, competing with many of his East Coast counterparts.

Along with releasing two albums that debuted at number one in the American charts, The Game has gained notoriety for collaborations with music giants including Dr. Dre, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, Jamie Foxx, Wiz Khalifa, Drake, J. Cole and Eminem.

The gig has been arranged by TK4 Global in association with Necto Future Group.

TK4 is a newly formed outfit and the people behind it are established entrepreneurs Joseph Ashford Ellis (K4 Global) and Ty Temel (TML Events).

Joe said: “This is an exciting time in the budding partnership between Ty and myself.

"With our combined skill sets and vision, we know we can develop this business into something with global recognition. Bringing The Game to Bournemouth was an opportunity we couldn’t miss”.

Ty said: “I’m buzzing to be able to announce our first event as TK4, and with a huge name such as The Game, this really puts the stamp on our ambitions. I’m pleased to have built a reputation for bringing big names to the local area, but this is now a natural evolution in my desire to look at partnering with real stars to deliver national and global sports, music and entertainment operations.”
