Endorsed by Jay-Z and Eminem, the game will allow players to be hip-hop superstars without the obligatory criminal activity and gunshot wounds. Selected tracks from the two rappers will be available to play in the game, along with jams from the likes of 50 Cent, Beastie Boys, KRS-One, Blondie, N.E.R.D., Gorillaz, and David Bowie. The game will also feature new mixes of old hits and is scheduled for an October release.
