J. Cole's hoop dreams are getting bigger with each passing day. After playing professional basketball in Canada and Africa, the Grammy award-winning rapper is on the cover of the newest installment of NBA 2K.
On Tuesday, September 6, The Breakfast Club discussed J. Cole's role in the upcoming DREAMER Edition of NBA 2K23. Not only does he grace the cover of the game, but he also plays a role in the MyCAREER mode along with Dreamville rapper Bas, producer Elite and others. The MyCAREER mode also allows players to add music, fashion and business endeavors to their side hustles off the court.
“NBA 2K has long been a place to discover new musical talent through their game and continues to be a gold standard for showcasing all things basketball culture,” Cole said in a press release. “It’s been an amazing journey to not only appear on a cover of this year’s game, but to be part of the MyCAREER storyline, soundtrack and bring the DREAMER brand into NBA 2K.”
The DREAMER Edition of NBA 2K23 will go on sale exclusively at Gamestop beginning in November. It will be available for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles. While gamers wait for the Cole-inspired version, fans can purchase the regular edition of NBA 2K23 when it drops on September 9.
