24-Song Soundtrack To NBA 2K13 Released, Picked By Jay-Z
Jay brought a number of diverse artists to the game soundtrack, ranging
from indie rock (Phoenix, Dirty Projectors) to electro (Daft Punk,
Justice) to hip-hop, with classics such as Nas' "The World is Yours" and
Eric B. and Rakim's "I Ain't No Joke" sharing time with a number of
hits from Hov himself. The Throne collaborator Kanye West makes several
appearances, with "Amazing," "We Major" and recent track "Mercy" -- and
Coldplay adds to the arena-rock contingent with "Viva La Vida." It's the
latest curatorial project for the MC, who is also directing the
Philadelphia Made in America festival this September
But according to Argent, Jay's involvement extended well beyond the music.
The band's "Elevate" will make an appearance in "NBA 2k13," the latest installment of the popular basketball gaming franchise -- as part of a soundtrack curated by the game's executive producer, Jay-Z.
The game is due Oct. 2 from 2K Sports. See the "NBA 2K13" track list below.
