With the inking drying on his new deal with Roc-A-Fella Records and a new album on the way, Noreaga is one of the 40 Hip-Hop stars to be featured on Def Jam’s upcoming video game, “Fight for NY.”
“This game is making Hip-Hop bigger,” Nore told AllHipHop.com. “Hip-Hop and video games go together.”
Fight for NY was inspired by various gang movies from the 1980’s and the actual streets of New York, right up the Queens native's alley.
“I like the dirty fight,” Noreaga continued. “If you’re not playing a video game you listen to Hip-Hop, or while you’re playing the video game you listen to hip pop. So why not video games that already got Hip-Hop on it? You can save electricity.”
“The real inspiration came from exploring the streets of New York in person, filming and taking photographs,” art director Daryl Anselmo said. “The celebrity artists had a lot of crazy ideas too, so we’re always collaborating and making sure that they each get their important signature looks and moves in the game.”
Gamers can pick their favorite artists and then choose from five different fighting styles: wrestling, martial arts, street fighting, kickboxing and submission fighting.
In order to win control of the streets, which is the ultimate goal of the game, a player must win more than 90 fights in 20-plus venues.
Users can even build their own fighter and adorn him with tattoos, gear and even custom ice courtesy of Jacob the Jeweler.
Def Jam Fight for NY hits stores on September 20, 2004 and features Ice-T, Fat Joe, Lil Kim, Busta Rhymes, Sean Paul, Flavor Flav and a host of others.
Stell mir gerade vor Lil' Kim vs. Fat Joe...
