[With NBA 2K17 finally hitting store shelves next month, one of the NBA 2K’s heads spoke to SOHH about landing OVO Sound’s Noah “40” Shebib to curate the game.]
Drake’s a big fan of the game. We’ve had a relationship with him going back some time and the biggest thing we try and stay aware of is the general culture around basketball.
Whether it’s the shoes or the music, we try to stay aware.
Last year with the NBA All-Star activities going down in Toronto, you couldn’t see anything without Drake. Toronto’s synonymous with the NBA and the label itself kind of fits our play experience as well.
The variety and grind is a little bit different too but we’re trying to keep it fresh.
It’s more about what they would like to hear as opposed to new music premiering in the game. We’ve had LeBron James pick songs back in the day like “In The Air Tonight” and it ends up becoming iconic tracks from that soundtrack.
