Jay-Z is furthering his entertainment influence and has partnered with 2K Sports to become an Executive Producer for NBA 2k13 due out later this year. Hova will be injecting his artistic vision and style into the gaming experience, from the overall look and feel of the game, to the hand-picked soundtrack, interactive in-game menus and more.
“This has been a unique opportunity to collaborate with 2K Sports and be a part of one of the best sports video games in history,” commented JAY Z. “NBA 2K13 will be the next evolution in sports and basketball culture, and I’m ready to usher in the new era of the franchise.”
“We aren’t content with just being the best, and we will continue to grow the NBA 2K franchise into one of today’s premier entertainment experiences,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “JAY Z’s role in NBA 2K13 represents a unique fusion of basketball, music, art, and entertainment, and illustrates the evolution of NBA 2K into something much bigger than simply the best basketball video game series ever made.”
