The City in NBA 2K22 on next-gen consoles is full of content for you to explore as you play through your MyCareer, which includes a side quest that pops up multiple times that involve you answering music trivia. NBA 2K22 has an abundance of quests for you to complete, with one being known as The Music Scene: Marvin's Room, which can be found underneath the Quests Tab under Personal Brand. For this one, you better get your music trivia skills ready, as they definitely vary in difficulty across the various sets of questions.
The Music Scene: Marvin's Room quest will take you to Erick's Vinyl shop, where the very creepy owner Marvin will ask you sets of three questions related to music, specifically rap and hip-hop as mentioned before. These range in difficulty, with some being very easy and others likely leading you to have to guess or at least guesstimate based on the options. The questions not only get harder in difficulty but also have a time limit that makes it hard to Google search for the answer in time. That is why we have compiled a list of all the questions for the Marvin's Room music trivia quest.
