Year in and year out, the NBA 2K franchise is undoubtedly one of the best video games out and a big reason why is because of the music featured in the game. Similar to a real game, once you’re in the zone and the music is pumped up — you’re in the winner’s bracket. 2K Sports released a press release saying that it “will feature the most extensive soundtrack in NBA 2K in history with three genre-defining collaborators at the helm.”
