With All-Pro Football 2K8 unmasked and revealed, 2K Sports has
decided to unravel yet another aspect of the game: its
soundtrack. The soundtrack of APF 2K8 will be produced by DJ
Z-Trip, and is simply called "All-Pro". The tracks will
be an assortment of originals, remixes and mash-ups. A lot of the
soundtrack consists of some pretty whacky hip-hop and rock
mashups, such as Rakim and Chevelle (a personal favorite of
mine). Likewise, another personal favorite, the Deftones, will be
mashed up with a vocal track by Dread Prez.
“Since 2K Sports’ All-Pro Football 2K8 is taking
football to the next level with landmark gameplay innovations, we
wanted the soundtrack to reflect the latest in music innovations,”
said Tim Rosa, 2K Sports’ Director of Brand and Lifestyle
Marketing. “The logical step was to sign DJ Z-Trip, who has
literally pioneered the art of the mash-up and set the standard
for quality remixes. We’re proud that our games and
soundtracks have paved new roads in the video game industry.”
"One thing I really appreciate about 2K Sports is they take
chances when it comes to their music selection, and I'm all about
that," said DJ Z-Trip. "Working on the All-Pro Football
2K8 soundtrack gave me the opportunity to really mix things up.
The music fits perfectly in the game, making you want to nod your
head and tackle someone at the same time."
