More than 80 eclectic songs from NYC raised or transplanted bands that
span such diverse genres as punk, hip hop, hardcore and rock bring true
East Coast flavor to Activision, Inc.’s (Nasdaq: ATVI) highly
anticipated True Crime®: New York City video game. The in-game
soundtrack features licensed tracks from some of the biggest names in
music from Bob Dylan, The Ramones and Blondie to Run DMC, Public Enemy
and DMX, as well as new music from Redman, including “Rush The

written for the game. True Crime®: New York City, set to hit store

“When we moved the True Crime franchise to the one and only New York
City we compiled a soundtrack to match the look and feel of the game,”

the artists on the soundtrack helped define the city’s music scene
including Jay-Z, Fat Joe, A Tribe Called Quest, New York Dolls, The
