ongoing series of NBA 2K. 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.” - DJ Premier
- “I am honored to collaborate with
NBA 2K, which is such a distinguished brand and one of my
favorite video games. 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 Khaled

part of the NBA 2K musical family alongside legends like Pharrell,
Jay Z, DJ Premier and DJ Khaled.” - DJ Mustard
NBA 2K16’s soundtrack will be comprised of six in-game
playlists, including three lists individually curated by each
producer, an international “Around the World” playlist, the 2K
Classics Mixtape featuring fan favorites from previous 2K
titles, and a master playlist that includes all 50 tracks from this
year’s selection. The expansive music library spans a wide range of
genres, including hip-hop, electronic, pop, rock and alternative,
from throwback tracks from the ‘70s through today’s Top 40,
including The Ramones’ “Blitzkrieg Bop,” Nas’ “Represent,” and
Zedd’s “I Want You to Know” featuring Selena Gomez.
Gamers will also have the opportunity to listen to all-new
instrumental tracks created by each producer, which will be
available in-game at various points during the MyPLAYER and MyGM
experiences.
“As we continue to identify ways to elevate the NBA 2K
franchise for our fans, we wanted to give them more options and
choices than ever before with this year’s soundtrack,” said Alfie
Brody, Vice President of Marketing for NBA 2K. “By bringing
these influential producers onboard, fans will be able to
experience in-game music in unique, customizable ways.”
