Legendary music producer Just Blaze, who’s worked with all-star talent such as Kanye West, Jay Z and Eminem, will now be jumping into the world of video games.
For the upcoming release of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of The Shadows, Just Blaze was hired to produce the musical score. In a behind the scenes trailer, the creator of the hip-hop classics “Dear Summer” and “Roc The Mic” explains the process of crafting a new sound for a storied franchise.
“It’s ironic to come full-circle and now be working on a project that embodies a major part of my childhood and my childhood memories,” said Just Blaze.
