As usual, 2K Sports gathers a handful of rappers for their latest installment in the NBA 2K series. The NBA 2K11 soundtrack features previously released hits from Big Boi, Drake, Kid Cudi, and others, plus a new track from Snoop Dogg, “NBA 2K Theme”.

“NBA 2K is the basketball game that everyone plays, from NBA athletes to celebrities to music artists. Snoop has been a long time fan of the NBA 2K series and because music is such an integral part to the gameplay experience, it was a perfect fit for this year’s title – one of the greatest rappers making an exclusive track for the greatest NBA game,” said Jason Argent, vice president of marketing for 2K Sports. “With NBA 2K11 we hope to exceed expectations by featuring both an impressive array of established artists like Big Boi, Kid Cudi and Drake who definitely balance the hoop action, alongside emerging talent, such as the winners of our national MC/producer contest.”
