Pharrell is absolutely everywhere these days.
The producer-rapper-singer has had a hand in just about everything now days, and it doesn't look like he plans to slow up anytime soon.
According to Billboard, Skateboard P recently confirmed that he would be curating the NBA 2K15 soundtrack.
During a press release, Pharrell said that he was "honored" to take over the NBA 2K soundtrack selection process from Jay Z and LeBron James, who curated the soundtracks to the franchise's previous two installments.
I couldn't believe my name got tossed in the hat!," he said.
The game is set to be released on October 7th in North America, but the tracklist will not be released until later this summer.
However, Pharrell did mention that songs from System of a Down and Strafe would be included.
A representative for game publisher 2K confirmed that "2K15" would boast the largest soundtrack to date for the franchise.
With such high expectations, Pharrell admitted to taking a different route when enlisting help.
"I had some people from my staff -- they were all girls and women -- and we just talked about it," he said. "I was like, 'I have to do this, [but] I don't know if I'm gonna be able to pull this off, because Jay did it and LeBron.' I'm like, man, how do I follow up those guys? They know so much more about the sport than I do."
He went on to explain that a woman's insight was exactly what he needed.
"There are girls that play the game and there's a lot of girls that are around it ... so I thought it'd be such an interesting twist to have the girls weigh in on the song list, because they listen to it just as much," he explained. "I tried to pick an alternative approach, because how do you follow up LeBron and Jay? I gotta take a different route. When we finished looking at the list, it felt right."
This should be interesting.
