Pharrell is teaming up with the world's best-selling basketball video game franchise as a music curator.
2K Sports announced Tuesday that the Grammy-winning performer chose 27 tracks for the soundtrack of the upcoming “NBA 2K15.” He’s the second music performer to select songs for the popular video game, following Jay Z who served as executive producer in 2012.
LeBron James picked out songs for last year's installment that sold 7 million copies.
Pharrell said in a statement that he wanted to create an “eclectic mix” of songs. Three of his songs are featured on the soundtrack including “Hunter,” “Can I Have It Like That” and “How Does It Feel?”
The game is expected to go on sale Oct. 7.

Jeff Goldblum is coming back to New York but not to act — he'll be singing.
The Cafe Carlyle said the “Jurassic Park” and “The Fly” star will perform Sept. 16-20 with his jazz band, The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra.
The actor has sung and played piano with the band for years but the new dates mark their New York premiere. They’re named for a friend of Goldblum’s family and play improvised versions of jazz standards like “Summertime” or “The Sidewinder.”
The fall season at the Carlyle will also include sets by "It's Complicated" actress Rita Wilson from Sept. 24-Oct. 4, "The Breakfast Club" star Molly Ringwald from Oct. 7-18, and David Johansen, whose alter ego is Buster Poindexter, from Oct. 21-25. Woody Allen and his jazz band play every Monday from Sept. 15-Dec. 15.
The legendary lounge inside the Hotel Carlyle on Manhattan’s Upper East Side is where Elaine Stritch, Chita Rivera and Bobby Short have performed.
