Hip-hop heavyweight The Game teams up with DJ Drama for Every Movie Needs a Trailer, a brand-new Gangsta Grillz tape that captures the essence of the classic mixtape era with cinematic flair. Spanning 18 tracks, the project is driven by Game’s relentless storytelling and Mike & Keys’ big, soulful production each record playing like a scene in a larger motion picture.
Reportedly created in just 48 hours, Every Movie Needs a Trailer moves with raw urgency. DJ Drama’s signature ad-libs and pacing give it that nostalgic Gangsta Grillz feel, while Game’s pen remains as sharp as ever blending street wisdom, braggadocio, and vivid narrative detail. The West Coast veteran sounds hungry, rejuvenated, and fully in command.
Cameos from Jeremih, Eric Bellinger, O.T. Genasis, Hayley Williams, Latoyia Williams, and Mozzy add dynamic textures, while the production maintains a cohesive, cinematic thread. From soulful introspection to hard-hitting anthems, the tape feels like a reminder of what made The Game a cornerstone in hip-hop storytelling.
With Every Movie Needs a Trailer, The Game and DJ Drama don’t just revisit mixtape culture they elevate it, reminding everyone that substance, style, and hustle never go out of fashion.
