By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: MOBILE

(AllHipHop News) Following yesterday’s announcement that Jay-Z would be executive producing 2K Sports’ “NBA 2k13” video game, fan interest regarding the mogul’s involvement with the game was high. Today (July 31), it was revealed that, in addition to putting the game’s soundtrack together, Jay would be working directly with developers on off-court aspects of the game, including menus, intro/outro videos, and much more. In addition to two tracks from his own illustrious career – “Public Service Announcement” and “On to the Next One” – Jay-Z also snagged records from the likes of Hip-Hop icons Too Short (“Blow the Whistle”), Eric B. and Rakim (“I Ain’t No Joke), Nas (“The World Is Yours”), Mobb Deep  (“Shook One’s Pt. II), and Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music ensemble (“Mercy”). Artists from other genres like U2, Santigold, Daft Punk, Roy Ayers, and Coldplay will contribute some of their most popular tracks to the games soundtrack as well. 2K Sports’ V.P. of Marketing Jason Argent told Billboard that Jay-Z’s role goes far beyond just putting together the game’s soundtrack. “Jay is completely obsessed with authenticity so right off the bat, he said ‘Look, I love this franchise and I love this game, but if you want me to be involved, I need to be truly involved. I want to actually help make this game. “We wanted him to truly be involved from a behind-the-scenes production standpoint,” Argent told Billboard. “[With] his involvement within the league, he brought such a level of understanding to what we were trying to accomplish… I think the final product will reflect that level of excitement that he had.” Check out a full list of songs from the “NBA 2K13” soundtrack below: The Hours – “Ali in the Jungle” Too Short – “Blow The Whistle (Main)” Eric B. and Rakim – “I Ain’t No Joke” Phoenix – “1901” Jay-Z – “Pump It Up (Freestyle)” Puff Daddy and the Family – “Victory” (feat.

NBA 2K13 Cover To Feature Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant and Derrick Rose

By: JP DelaCuesta (@JPdelacuesta)Category: Lifestyle

Two years ago, 2K Sports did the unthinkable with the release NBA 2K11; they got Michael Jordan on the cover and included him throughout the game with multiple features and game modes. One year later, 2K Sports lined up Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan to grace three separate covers for the game’s 2012 incarnation. With the infamous lockout looming before the game’s initial release, 2K Sports decided to feature a number of the sport’s greatest players, like Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, and Kareem-Abdul Jabbar, in last year’s game. This year, the cover will feature three of this generation’s most gifted, praised and talked-about players: Blake Griffin, Kevin Durant, and Derrick Rose, according to ESPN. Durant, who plays for the 2012 Western Conference Champion Oklahoma City Thunder, said in a statement, “Being crowned as one of the NBA 2K13 cover athletes is a huge honor and something I always dreamt about. It’s definitely humbling to grace the cover after the likes of Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird.” “It’s a dream come true to be one of the cover athletes for NBA 2K13,” said former league MVP Rose. “I’ve worked closely with 2K Sports since NBA 2K10, and I’m honored to follow in the footsteps of Michael Jordan as the latest Chicago Bull to be featured on the cover.” Heralded as one of this decade’s greatest dunkers, Los Angeles Clipper Blake Griffin said of this year’s cover, “There’s so much young talent around the NBA, so it’s very exciting to be chosen for NBA 2K’s ‘New Dynasty’ alongside Kevin and Derrick. The NBA 2K series has always been my first choice when I want to get a game in.” In year’s past, each player featured on the cover has been honored with the Rookie of the Year award among other accolades . NBA 2K13 is set to be released on October 2.
