In preparation to begin working on the follow-up to his multi-platinum album The Documentary, rapper The Game recently constructed and opened a new recording studio complex in Atlantic City as headquarters for Black Wall Street East.
Black Wall Street's main offices are headquartered in Los Angeles and the rapper is also making plans for other Black Wall Street facilities in other major markets across the country.
Game (born Jayceon Taylor) centered his recording studio in Atlantic City, New Jersey after collaborating with Black Wall Street in-house producer, Nu Jerzey Devil aka Anthony Torres.
"Rap is just a branch on my tree of life," Game told AllHipHop.com. "I am funding these complexes with my own money. It's very reminiscent in concept to what the original Black Wall Street was all about - doing for yourself."
According to Ron Wallace, co-author of "Black Wall Street: A Lost Dream Chronicles," the original "Black Wall Street" was in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
The street was in one of the most affluent, segregated African-American neighborhoods in the United States and flourished from the early 1900's until 1921.
According to "Black Wall Street," the city was destroyed by race riots brought on by angry white Ku Klux Klan members, who allegedly destroyed the town on June 1, 1921.
Game's Black Wall Street East, which is set in the heart of Atlantic City, is a fully customized state of the art recording studio, which is serving as the backdrop for the Game
