Artist and entrepreneur to curate soundtrack and lend artistic vision to world\u2019s top NBA video game simulation franchise as Executive Producer<\/em><\/p>\n

Sydney, Australia \u2013 2nd<\/sup> August, 2012<\/span><\/strong> \u2013 2K Sports today announced an unprecedented partnership with entertainment mogul Shawn \u201cJAY Z\u201d Carter to serve as Executive Producer of NBA\u00ae 2K13<\/em><\/strong>, the next installment of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise*.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis has been a unique opportunity to collaborate with 2K Sports and be a part of one of the best sports video games in history,\u201d commented JAY Z.\u00a0 \u201cNBA 2K13<\/em><\/strong> will be the next evolution in sports and basketball culture, and I\u2019m ready to usher in the new era of the franchise.\u201d<\/p>\n

JAY Z\u2019s interests and influences extend well beyond his illustrious music career as a 14-time Grammy award winner, as evidenced by his part-ownership of the 40\/40 sports clubs and of the NBA\u2019s Brooklyn Nets, having recently helped craft that team\u2019s iconic black-and-white logo and visual identity. As Executive Producer of NBA 2K13<\/em><\/strong>, JAY Z\u2019s artistic vision and style will permeate the experience, <\/strong>from the overall look and feel of the game, to the hand-picked soundtrack, interactive in-game menus and more.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe aren\u2019t content with just being the best, and we will continue to grow the NBA 2K<\/em><\/strong> franchise into one of today\u2019s premier entertainment experiences,\u201d said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. \u201cJAY Z\u2019s role in NBA <\/em>2K13 <\/strong>represents a unique fusion of basketball, music, art, and entertainment, and illustrates the evolution of NBA 2K<\/em><\/strong> into something much bigger than simply the best basketball video game series ever made.\u201d<\/p>\n

The audio and visual aesthetics of NBA 2K13<\/em><\/strong> will reflect a balance of basketball and musical influences, with JAY Z himself hand-picking the game\u2019s soundtrack. The 24-song collection features some of his top hits, along with an eclectic mix of music\u2019s biggest acts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
