Chuck D and Just Blaze Are Ballin’ On Next Gen
Posted by: Howard Brown on February 4, 2008 at 10:52 am
Midway today announced that Chuck D and Just Blaze will have prominent roles in NBA Ballers: Chosen One. Chuck D, the famed front man and founder of Public Enemy, will serve as announcer and studio-host for the Chosen One tournament, and also provide play-by-play commentary throughout the game. Just Blaze, who has produced tracks for best-selling artists such as Jay-Z, Usher, Kanye West, Busta Rhymes, T.I. and many more, will produce the entire instrumental score for NBA Ballers: Chosen One.
The Just Blaze-produced score for NBA Ballers: Chosen One marks a bold departure from the current norm in sports video game soundtracks. Instead of a random compilation of tracks from various artists, the soundtrack will instead interact with the gameplay, much like a cinematic score, and will be a noticeable change from the typical use of licensed music in games.
NBA Ballers: Chosen One will release in the Spring for PS3 and Xbox 360.

Sounds awesome. I’ve always been a fan of the ballers games. always been a good arcade game that was way more realistic than street.

Soundtrack sounds interesting — Just Blaze is hot. And of course Chuck D will always be the man.
