For 2k15, it was Cena. In 2k16, it was music #FitToRaiseSomeHell (???). 2k17 was Diddy. Who is next in this long line of curation geniuses that clearly has a theme every year? None other than Hollywood superstar and occasional wrestler, The Rock. Dwayne took to Instagram to announce the news and the soundtrack that is now available on Apple Music and you know what? I can dig it. I did like the 2k16 soundtrack with Rebel Yell and the like, but did you imagine The Rock to be a man that listened to Disturbed? Well he does apparently. I always thought he would be more of a Kid Rock fan… Oh, that’s on there too? Disregard what I said.
