The soundtrack for NBA 2K16 was revealed today.
NBA 2K16 is due to be released on September 29 for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, and PC.
2K today announced that NBA 2K16, the newest iteration of the top-rated video game simulation series for the last 15 years*, will feature the most extensive soundtrack in NBA 2K history with three genre-defining collaborators at the helm - legendary hip-hop producer DJ Premier, renowned producer DJ Khaled, and rap/pop producer DJ Mustard. As one of the most successful entertainment properties of the last decade, NBA 2K16's partnership brings together their unique creative direction in curating more than 50 tracks and contributing a total of six new exclusive tracks to this year's title.
NBA 2K16's soundtrack will be comprised of six in-game playlists, including three lists individually curated by each producer, an international "Around the World" playlist, the 2K Classics Mixtape featuring fan favorites from previous 2K titles, and a master playlist that includes all 50 tracks from this year's selection. The expansive music library spans a wide range of genres, including hip-hop, electronic, pop, rock and alternative, from throwback tracks from the '70s through today's Top 40, including The Ramones' "Blitzkrieg Bop," Nas' "Represent," and Zedd's "I Want You to Know" featuring Selena Gomez.
Gamers will also have the opportunity to listen to all-new instrumental tracks created by each producer, which will be available in-game at various points during the MyPLAYER and MyGM experiences.
"As we continue to identify ways to elevate the NBA 2K franchise for our fans, we wanted to give them more options and choices than ever before with this year's soundtrack," said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K. "By bringing these influential producers onboard, fans will be able to experience in-game music in unique, customizable ways."
