Dreams is one of the darker cuts from The Game's The Documentary album, but it's also one of the most profound. Featuring Kanye West, it name checks an awful lot of people - even for a rap record. It seems the main protagonist has a lot on his mind, mulling over the tragically early deaths of his contemporaries on one hand, yet pondering Martin Luther King, Ronald Reagan and Eazy E on the other.

In the wrong hands this could sound crass, but for once the vocalist sounds genuine, helped by the "Cos I love you" sample and the "dream" that punctuates each phrase of the chorus, seemingly from No Money Down by Jerry Butler.

It is effective and memorable, and if you haven't yet played The Game and heard his wide range of sounds, you'd be well encouraged to do so. He's one of the rap discoveries of the year, and it's to be hoped that his tiresome posturing with 50 Cent doesn't get in the way of this.
