Furthermore, there will be three producers making their own playlists, and we have a feeling you’re going to like this. DJ Premier, DJ Khaled, and DJ Mustard have all been confirmed as producers, replacing their previous practice of having a single artist curate their soundtrack.
Each of the three DJs gets to make a playlist, and they will each also contribute instrumental soundtracks to MyPlayer and MyGM modes. There will also be an ‘Around the World’ playlist containing an international set of tracks, a 2K Classics Mixtape of fan favorite songs, and a master playlist of all 50 songs.
No word if Spike Lee had a hand or any input in the choices for the soundtrack, but putting all these together will certainly mean this game will be a must have for fans.
NBA 2K16 will be released on September 29 for Xbox One, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and PC.
