The Doggfather of rap lends his talents to Activision's action title.
The undisputed Doggfather of hip-hop, Snoop Dogg, will be headlining the soundtrack to Activision's True Crime: Streets of L.A. soundtrack with an all-new original song. Additionally, the eagerly awaited mission-based driving and action video game will debut an unprecedented 50 plus original songs performed by the biggest artists in West Coast rap including Westside Connection (Ice Cube, Mac 10, WC), E40, KAM, Caviar, Easy-E Jr., Lil ½ Dead, Bad Azz, Damizza, Young Billionaires, Sly Boogy, KoKain and Jay-O-Felony. Many of the tracks featured in the game have been themed around the gritty crime drama's action gameplay.
True Crime: Streets of L.A. also features licensed tracks from old school West Coast rappers such as Ice T and D.O.C., as well as contemporary hip-hop acts like N.E.R.D, providing a compelling backdrop to the game's no-holds-barred car chases, shootouts, on-foot pursuits and hand-to-hand combat.
In addition, Activision has partnered with Vybe Squad, LLC to develop a True Crime: Streets of L.A. double CD soundtrack that will showcase many of the original songs from the game. The soundtrack is scheduled for release this fall and will be distributed by Universal (UMVD).
True Crime: Streets of L.A. will be available this fall for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system, the Xbox video game system from Microsoft and the Nintendo GameCube(tm) and has been rated "M" ("Mature" - Blood and Gore, Mature Sexual Themes, Partial Nudity, Strong Language and Violence) by the ESRB.
