Kidz in the Hall just landed them selves a spot on the soundtrack for the 20th Anniversary Edition of the highest selling video game franchise of all time- Madden NFL 2009!
This year the Madden team "considered 4000+ songs before deciding on the final 26 tracks" - making this an even more impressive feat than in previous years. This year Madden set out to "create a definitive soundtrack that would be a combination of returning classic Madden acts, ass-kicking new bands and some very cool surprises from hip-hop to hardcore and beyond."
The track chosen was none other than "The Blackout" from Kidz latest album "The In Crowd", on Major League/Duck Down Records, and truly demonstrates the rapid-fire lyricism of MC Naledge and masterful bass heavy beats of DJ Double O. This is probably why Steve Steve Schnur, worldwide executive of music and marketing for Electronic Arts, said "we believe that this time next year, Kidz In The Hall will be true Hip-Hop superstars."
Over the years the majority of Madden's music has come from emerging artists. It even helped introduce such hip hop stars as artists like Chamillionaire, Nappy Roots, Lupe Fiasco, Papoose, MURS, Slim Thug, and Swizz Beatz. Now by putting the up-and-coming hip hop artists of today and tomorrow like Kidz in the Hall, Madden is continuing its legacy as "the game that made the music matter." So grab a copy and keep a look out for the hottest track on the game- Kidz in the Hall's "The Blackout"!!!
