True NYC Soundtrack For True Crime News

By Jon Wilcox on 07/11/2005 An eighty track line-up is announced by Activision for True Crime: New York City...

Activision has today announced the soundtrack line-up for the forthcoming title, True Crime: New York City. The game, which is set for release on November 25th, will feature a range of musical genres including Blondie, Jay-Z, and Wu-Tang Clan.

"When we moved the True Crime franchise to the one and only New York City we compiled a soundtrack to match the look and feel of the game," said Tim Riley, Worldwide Executive of Music at Activision. "Many of the artists on the soundtrack helped define the city's music scene including Jay-Z, Fat Joe, A Tribe Called Quest, New York Dolls, The Velvet Underground, My Chemical Romance, The Bravery and Iggy and the Stooges, among others, making this soundtrack the ultimate New York experience."
