Some of the artists above, including Dan The Automator himself, will make cameos in the game..Phife from A Tribe Called Quest is another. Tim Rosa, Director of Brand and Lifestyle Marketing for 2K Sports, offered the comment that "Dan is noted for his production skills, but he is also a huge sports
fan with solid gaming skills. He was the perfect choice for this project." Dan The Automator himself had this to say: "It's cool to work on NBA 2K7 with 2K Sports. They have consistently made the best hoops video game and produced by far the most diverse and representative video game soundtracks," said Dan the Automator. "Basketball is a global sport and I wanted to represent that universal appeal by bringing together an eclectic mix of artists for NBA 2K7."
Doesn't “Dan The Automator” just sound neat?
Anyway [i]NBA 2K7[/i] itself will be coming out this November for the Xbox 360, the Xbox, and the PS2. There will be a PS3 release later this holiday season. MyGamer will be carrying more details as they appear but, until then, you can visit the official site at http://www.2KSports.com
