Today, 2K Sports revealed the soundtrack that we will be able to listen to in this year's upcoming release NBA 2K18.
In the past, the list of songs that have been included in various entries in the series were put together by famous musicians like Pharrell, Jay-Z, and DJ Khaled. In addition, Lebron James put together his own soundtrack for the game when he served as the cover athlete for NBA 2K14. For 2K18 however, no creators have been credited with putting the playlist together, which is a first for the series in quite some time.
This year's edition of NBA 2K features its usual number of notable hip-hop tracks but also includes a larger variety of rock -- specifically classic rock -- tracks than in past years. The full list of songs that will be featured in NBA 2K18 can be found as follows:
