After a few reschedules and amid rumours of imminent cancellation, Jayceon Terrell Taylor (AKA The Game) took to the stage at The Espy to treat a homegrown crowd to some throwback gangsta rap. We opened our inbox the other day to these photos from an enterprising photographer called Amber Swales, being a truly dedicated fan – she snuck a camera into the gig and jumped on stage to grab a few photos. Here’s her explanation in her own words.

‘The Game’s Compton takeover at the Espy on Tuesday proved the worth of such an iconic venue. The occupation of St Kilda’s most loved location attracted a crowd bound by a uniformity of snapbacks and appreciation of Jayceon Taylor. There’s nothing lightweight about The Game, from his weighty jesus piece thumping against his body, to the bottle of Grey Goose which he drained. He’s not a pastiche of gangster. This was authentic.’
