At the age of 28, Los Angeles hip-hop artist The Game is retiring. In his own words, the self-professed King of LA - real name Jayceon Taylor - is trading in the Lamborghini for a mini van.
"I'm gonna be a daddy. That's the life," he says of his choice to spend more time with his sons, Harlem and King.
"I love my family more than I love music," is his simple reasoning.
It's a big call because hip-hop has been his life and the reason he went from Compton gangsta to one of rap music's shining lights - or "statues", as he sees it.
Even though he's throwing it in he knows he owes a lot to people like hip-hop pioneer Dr Dre, who signed him to his Aftermath record label in 2003.
"Hip-hop is a woman that I will love and appreciate the things she did for me for the rest of my life," he admits, with typical rapper bravado. "It doesn't matter if me and her get married, continue our relationship, or break up, I'm always going to have respect for hip-hop and love it. She raised me."
