Jay-Z Lends Def Jam Music To Scarface Game, Signs Sam Scarfo As New Artist
Jay-Z is presently in talks to create music for a highly anticipated Scarface video game and has just signed his second act to Island Def Jam.
Word is Hov recently met with Vivendi Universal Games executives to discuss a deal to produce the video game's music and feature Def Jam artists. There's also negotiations regarding a possible Scarface soundtrack.
The game will be based on Brian DePalma's 1983 flick starring Al Pacino and is set to launch this fall. Electronic Arts is scheduled to release The Godfather video game around the same time. Def Jam has long been involved with video games. To date, Electronic Arts has released two installments of Def Jam Vendetta -a fighting game featuring Def Jam artists and other Hip-Hop superstars as street fighters.
While Pacino's character, drug lord Tony Montana, gets killed in the movie, game users will get to play the gun-toting Montana as he strives to rebuild his drug operation in the game. There's no word on whether Pacino will lend his voice to the game's lead character.
In related news, Jay-Z has recently signed his second act since becoming president of Island Def Jam. After winning two Fight Klub battles worth over $30,000 dollars, New Jersey-bred Sam Scarfo recently inked with Def Jam and is expected to release an album in 2005. Scarfo now becomes the second artist to be signed by Hov following Foxy Brown's signing earlier this year.
