We are so close to the release of NBA 2K23. As we wait for the game, we can try and imagine what songs could be part of the NBA 2K23 soundtrack. In fact, here is a list of some options that other fans have suggested would be a perfect fit. Please note these are not our original ideas; we are just sharing them with you.
The NBA 2K23 Soundtrack Should Feature These Songs
Kendrick Lamar – N95
There are more than 38 million views on the music video for N95, the lead single from the artist’s May 2022 album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers. The song is noted for its scathing socio-political commentary and its frequent tonal changes.
Benny the Butcher & J. Cole – Johnny P’s Caddy
Produced by The Alchemist, this song recounts how Benny the Butcher and J. Cole rose to success as rappers.
Conway The Machine – John Woo Flick
This collaboration features rappers Westside Gunn and Benny the Butcher, along with a slew of references to sports, making it an ideal fit for NBA 2K23.
Fivio Foreign, Kanye West, Alicia Keys – City of Gods
If there is one earworm we’ve all loved having stuck in our heads this year, it is the three-way City of Gods, an ode to New York City.
Pusha T – Diet Coke
Kayne West and 88 Keys worked together to produce this song, which became the lead single from It’s Almost Dry.
Waasi – CASAMIGOSFREESTYLE
While Waasi may not have quite the big name that the other rappers on this list do, he is an up-and-coming artist, and his track CASAMIGOSFREESTYLE is just what NBA 2K23 needs.
Kanye West – Off The Grid
Here is another track where Kayne West is working with Fivio Foreign, this time with Playboi Carti onboard as well. Hearing this song, it is almost impossible not to picture it in the game.
Earl Sweatshirt – Titanic
Clocking in at under 2 minutes, this is not a long song, but it is one that sticks with you for long after you hear it. It would be a great addition to NBA 2K23.
We hope you enjoyed this selection of song ideas for the NBA 2K23 soundtrack. Check out everything we know to date about NBA 2K23, and stay tuned at our NBA 2K news section for more updates. The game will release on September 9th worldwide, and is available to pre-order now.
