Activision has announced that DJ Jazzy Jeff, the GRAMMY Award-winning hip-hop and R&B record producer, actor and world renowned turntablist, will appear as a playable character in the upcoming DJ Hero.
DJ Jazzy Jeff will shake the room and bring the party to life with his own set list featuring two exclusive mixes created by the legend himself: Tears for Fears “Shout” vs. Eric B. & Rakim “Eric B. Is President” and LL Cool J “Rock the Bells” vs. The Aranbee Pop Symphony Orchestra “Bittersweet Symphony”.
“I am very, very excited DJ culture is finally getting its due. To have a song in DJ Hero is a dream come true; to be a character someone can pick up the controller and select you and play is probably the biggest thing to happen to me in my career,” said DJ Jazzy Jeff. “Music is so much a part of everyone’s life, DJ Hero is going to appeal to almost everybody.”
DJ Jazzy Jeff joins a distinguished list of playable characters that will appear in the game, including DJ Shadow, DJ Z-Trip, Grandmaster Flash, DJ AM and others.
DJ Hero is being developed by FreeStyleGames for the Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and PS2. The game’s scheduled for release this autumn.
