    Grammy Award Winner Pharrell Williams to Curate NBAยฎ 2K15 Soundtrack

    Creative mogul and entertainment visionary to hand-select the most extensive and musically diverse soundtrack in NBA 2K history

    2K today announced a new collaboration with internationally-renowned artist and producer Pharrell Williams to curate the most extensive and unique soundtrack compilation in NBA 2K franchise history for NBAยฎ 2K15, the next installment of the top-selling and top-rated NBA video game simulation franchise*. The partnership brings together one of musicโ€™s most creative minds with one of the most successful entertainment properties of the last decade.

    โ€œIt was a cool experience. I tried to curate songs that were diverse but yet still proved to be motivational to gamers,โ€ said Pharrell. โ€œIt was important to me that the music complemented the on-court action of NBA basketball in NBA 2K15. I hope everyone enjoys it.โ€

    A renowned visionary across music, fashion, and design, Pharrell has served as a pop-culture force since his days as a founding member of N.E.R.D and the Neptunes to his latest venture with multi-media creative collective i am OTHER. His work includes producing tracks for some of the biggest albums of the decade, such as Kendrick Lamarโ€™s โ€œGood Kid, M.A.A.D Cityโ€ and Frank Oceanโ€™s โ€œChannel Orange,โ€ as well as hit singles "Happy," โ€œBlurred Linesโ€ with Robin Thicke and โ€œGet Luckyโ€ with Daft Punk.

    โ€œPharrellโ€™s passion and reputation as a visionary producer and expertise from working with the NBA will be evident in the largest and most eclectic NBA 2K soundtrack ever,โ€ said Alfie Brody, Vice President of Marketing for 2K. โ€œWe really listened to our fansโ€™ feedback on how we could improve their experience from a music standpoint, and weโ€™re confident Pharrellโ€™s collaboration in NBA 2K15 will impress players as much as itโ€™s impressed us.โ€

    Pharrellโ€™s soundtrack selections will be revealed later this summer. Follow @NBA2K on Twitter and use the hashtag #YourTimeHasCome for the latest NBA 2K15 news.

    Developed by Visual Concepts, a 2K studio, NBA 2K15 is not yet rated by the ESRB.

                  Good choice as long as he doesn't put "Happy" in the soundtrack and can we please get mroe than 13 songs gets a little annoying hearing the same damn songs over and over and over.

                    If "Happy" is on it, I will not buy the game.

                        If he puts Happy on there I will flip. Hopefully, he puts more Pusha on it.

                        Sidenote: Why does 2K pay these big music guys to come in but won't pay a legend to be put into a game?

                        Sidenote #2: I really don't like this cover. I think it should look like this:

                          Exactly what legend have they not payed to be in a game? I'm curious to see who this person or persons are.

                            Why..........why......I don't get it. Hire a DJ who specifically does hip hop and basketball related music. I hate 2k14 soundtrack it's so not a basketball soundtrack, who wants pharrell on here, they feminizing the game.

                              So it's going to be a very commercialized track like the jay z track was. Wish they would get less hyped artist or dj because they usually get better songs that aren't commercial
