We previously recieved word that the Def Jam Icon demo would be hitting Xbox Live Marketplace last week. We were notified that it had been delayed and the new release for the demo is in fact this Thursday. The demo will consist of one level, the gas station and two playable characters, T.I. and Big Boi. The game also features both hip-hop artists’ hit songs, Kryptonite (Purple Ribbon All-Stars Featuring Big Boi) and Top Back (T.I.).

DEF JAM: ICON is developed by EA Chicago, in partnership with Def Jam Interactive. The game is scheduled to ship in North America on March 6 and in Europe on March 16 for the PLAYSTATION®3 system and Xbox 360.
