Marc Ecko's Getting Up?
All I got to say is that this is a good game. It was first released in 2006. It's only for Playstation 2, and Xbox, so if you have those consoles you should totally get this. If you've already played this, tell me this. How was it? Did you like the story line?
If you've haven't played this, you may ask questions about it and I'll try to answer them for you.

Bought it few years ago for my PC and reinstalled it few weeks ago, it's a really fun and good game, I wish they make a sequel.
btw it's pretty cool that the voice actor of Trane is the rapper Talib Kweli.

I remember playing this! Unfortunately, it was kind of hard at the time. But I did see that this was a one-of-a-kind video game. I should get around to playing it again one day.

"The story begins the New Radius Slums, where Trane, against the will of his grandmother, runs away from home to establish himself as a Graffiti artist. His first goal was to set himself as a notorious graffiti artist within the New Radius slums. His exploits reveals the state of New Radius, as a result of Sung's attempts at Gentrification of the city to make it look prosperous. He has oppressed the lower class societies by eliminating the budget of liberal arts for more "prosperous" enterprises in the city, using the C.C.K to keep the slums and the city's seedy reputation suppressed through violence. Trane soon butts heads with the Vandals of New Radius led by Gabe who constantly paints over his works. Realizing he needs to make his crew well known, he successfully tags the city monorail which allows him to show his graffiti around New Radius in the face of both the C.C.K and the VaNR and then defeating Gabe in a Graffiti battle which forces an alliance between both Crews.
Soon enough though,Trane is incapacitated by Decoy who tells him about his father's past and how it all connects to Sung's rise to power and the anti-graffiti campaign was a smokescreen to prevent artists such as Decoy from revealing the truth about Sung paying Trane's father to assassinate a rival candidate and Decoy had been tagging posters with the phrase "9/06" which is the day when Sung ordered the murder of Trane's father to cover up his involvement. Taking his revolution to the next step Trane begins tagging upper New Radius, the pristine part of the city which Sung upheld as the bastion of progress. Amongst the tagging campaign however Gabe betrays Trane under the threat of being killed by Shanna, an assassin in the employ of the New Radius News who uses the recent events to make interesting news. This leads to Lower New Radius being attacked by C.C.K death squads and Decoy's death at the hands of New Radius News's assassination and lover Shanna, swearing revenge, he plans a smear campaign against Sung by planting flyers which incriminates Sung for his role in the murder of another candidate. Trane defeats Shanna (although she does not die as she is revealed to have survived the fall from the blimp as a helicopter was waiting for her. While the fight to overthrow Sung has ended, the fight for freedom is never finished for Trane as he continues his tagging campaigns to keep the city of New Radius always in question."

basically the game is about a graffiti artist that dreams to become a legend and goes against the anti-graffiti police squad and rival gangs, it's really worth checking out.
