Expanding the trend started by Jay Z and LeBron James, Pharrell Williams has taken over curating duties for the soundtrack for this year's NBA 2K soundtrack. Today 2K Games has released the full soundtrack on Spotify ahead of NBA 2K15's October release date. Complex had a chance to talk to Pharrell about his involvement with 2K and how he would be approaching making this soundtrack his own.
"There are girls that play the game and there’s a lot of girls that are around it because their boyfriends play it or their friends play it. So I thought it’d be such an interesting twist to have the girls weigh in on the song list, because they’re the ones that listen to it, they listen to it just as much. So I was just trying to pick like an alternative approach, you know, because how do you follow up like LeBron and Jay?"
NBA 2K15's soundtrack will feature a decidedly more eclectic feel compared to previous entries. Team by Lorde, Dangerous with Busta Rhymes, and Pharrell’s own Hunter will all be featured. NBA 2K15 drops everywhere October 7.
