Basketball and hip-hop have gone together since the dawn of time - or at least until the invention of both basketball and hip-hop - so it's only fitting that EA Sports has released a mixtape alongside their new NBA Live 10 release in partnership with DJ/producer Mick Boogie. The game looks pretty sick, and the mixtape line-up is too.
NBA Live 10 features a collection of songs from the soundtrack, including never before heard tracks from Afrika Bambaataa, B.o.B, David Banner, De La Soul, Dead Prez, Murs, Pete Rock, Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Zion I and more. Tracklist and download link is below.
