Sports, the
sports
publishing
label of
Take-Two
Interactive
Software,
Inc.
(NASDAQ:
TTWO),
announced
today the
All Pro
tour,
featuring
headliner DJ
Z-Trip, one
of the
world's most
celebrated
DJs and
producers.
The tour
kicks off on
July 23rd in
Sacramento,
CA, and is
heading
coast-to-coast
to showcase
2K Sports'
All-Pro
Football 2K8
and the
joint
soundtrack
release with
Decon
Records
called All
Pro. Joining
DJ Z-Trip
for roughly
two dozen
dates are
Aceyalone
and Gift of
Gab, both of
which appear
on All Pro,
the CD of
remixes,
mash-ups and
original
material
that DJ
Z-Trip
produced for
the game.
In addition
to DJ
Z-Trip,
Aceyalone
and Gift of
Gab, other
artists who
appear on
the
soundtrack,
such as
Rakim and
M-1, are
expected to
make guest
appearances
along the
tour route.
Beyond the
rhymers and
beats, tour
stops will
feature
kiosks with
All-Pro
Football 2K8
and a
multi-media
component to
DJ Z-Trip's
performance
that
integrates
some of the
game's most
intense
plays.
"It's rare
when an
artist can
design an
original
soundtrack
that
integrates
seamlessly
into a video
game and
then
transition
that to a
live
setting,"
said Tim
Rosa, 2K
Sports'
Director of
Brand and
Lifestyle
Marketing.
"DJ Z-Trip
has
accomplished
this feat,
so we're
excited to
introduce
his live mix
show with
various
musicians
and emcees
from the
soundtrack
coupled with
a live VJ
kicking out
visuals -
this is
going to be
a sick
show."
