The release of NBA 2K16 is creeping around the corner and word on Web is this year's soundtrack for the video game will be executive produced by DJ Mustard, DJ Khaled and DJ Premier.
According to a press release from 2K Sports, the game "will feature the most extensive soundtrack in NBA 2K history with three genre-defining collaborators at the helm."
It has been reported that the soundtrack will include more than 50 songs, including six songs that will be "exclusive" to the game. Confirmed songs so far include "Blitzkrieg Bop" by The Ramones, Nas' "Represent" and "I Want You to Know" by Zedd featuring Selena Gomez.
Each DJ will curate their own playlist, which will be featured with other mixes including an international-themed "Around the World" playlist, a 2K Classics Mixtape featuring "fan favorites" from past games and a "master playlist" of all 50 songs.
DJ Khaled, DJ Premier and DJ Mustard will also contribute new instrumental tracks for the game's MyPlayer and MyGM modes.
"I am excited to be a part of the ongoing series of NBA 2K," DJ Premier said. "As a sports fan, it was already fun before the work began. NBA 2K16 will be another big hit, especially alongside DJ Mustard and DJ Khaled bringing our different musical styles to the game."
"I am honored to collaborate with NBA 2K, which is such a distinguished brand and one of my favorite video games," DJ Khaled added. "Basketball and music are two of my favorite things, and I'm excited to light up the soundtrack with my signature sound. Expect the hottest tracks and of course hit music when you press the start button on NBA 2K16. We The Best. Who? NBA 2K16 that's who."
DJ Mustard expressed his gratitude as well. "It's an honor and a blessing to be part of the NBA 2K musical family alongside legends like Pharrell, Jay Z, DJ Premier and DJ Khaled."
Last year, Pharrell took over the NBA 2K soundtrack selection process from Jay Z and LeBron James, who curated the soundtracks to the franchise's previous two installments.
NBA 2K16 will be available on PS4, PS3 Xbox One, Xbox 360 and Windows PC platforms. The game launches on Sept. 29 and is available for pre-order now.
