August 1, 2012.  Having already mastered music and fashion, Jay-Z is now turning his attention to the video game realm. The hip-hop superstar will wear the hat of executive producer for the upcoming NBA 2K13 and has tapped some close music industry friends to be a part of the soundtrack for the hit basketball platform.

According to a statement, Jay, who will be working closely with 2K13 game developers on menus, intro/outro videos, and other functions, has recruited such rhyme legends as Nas (“The World Is Yours”); Kanye West and his G.O.O.D. Music crew (“Mercy”); Eric B & Rakim (“I Ain’t No Joke”); Too $hort (“Blow the Whistle”); and Mobb Deep (“Shook One’s Pt. II”). Read the full story on CBS Local
