Grammy winning producer 9th Wonder has been tapped to create the soundtrack for EA Sports’ upcoming NBA Elite 2011. The game will be the first to have a completely customized soundtrack and 9th Wonder has enlisted the help of fellow North Carolina musician J Cole to create the title track “The Plan.”
9th Wonder, who won a Grammy for his work with Mary J. Blige and is currently producing David Banner’s new album said, “Being the first artist to throw down the full soundtrack for NBA Elite 11 was pretty amazing. I was able to mesh together the two things I love in life, basketball and music.”
For J Cole, this was more than just another track. “As a big sports video game fan, it’s an honor to be a part of EA SPORTS NBA ELITE 2011,” Cole stated. “I thank EA for trusting in me to create the game’s main song. I truly enjoyed the experience.”
NBA Elite 2011 is expected to be available for PS3 and XBOX 360 on October 5.
