When JT discovered the game, he was just a hungry young cat from Compton trying to make a name for himself. The Game came up to the Bay and recorded 3 albums for Get Low Records. "Born in the Bay" is a collection of unreleased tracks from The Game's rookie recordings. Harder and more raw than his Aftermath albums, this is for real rap fans.
How did The Game blow up? From JT: "My presentation, putting him next to Nas on the mix cd called QB 2 Compton with original songs from Game and unused songs from Nas and the dope ass cover, made him look like he was somebody. He sounded good so Aftermath knew that this guy was coming out of Compton and they needed that. Dr. Dre needed to have somebody on from the West. He didn’t have nobody like that! But he came and got him from me and I didn’t get none of that money, but I made my money now so fuck all them niggaz. Put that out there and say JT don’t give a fuck, he is rich as fuck right now and I don’t have no problems with nobody!"
