E3 2012: Original Snoop Dogg track features in Tekken Tag Tournament 2

West Coast hip-hop star Snoop Dogg has recorded an original track for Namco Bandai’s upcoming Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

The track is called Knocc ‘Em Down”. Further more, Snoop will also make an appearance in game. You won’t get to punch him, however. His role is limited to that of an NPC (non playable character) in ‘The Snoop Dogg Stage’.

The stage will only be available – surprise surprise – to those who pre-order the game.

Snoop will also feature in a promotional music video to be released next week where the rapper faces off against competitive gamers and model Adrianne Curry.

I’ve been a fan ofTekkensince the 90’s so I’m excited to have madeKnocc ‘Em Downfor the game’s soundtrack,” the Snoopmeister himself stated. Probably into a microphone.

The game’s got a special stage featuring yours truly sittin’ high above and watching the action take place. All youTekken Tag Tournament 2fans better get ready to experience kickin’ ass on Tha Boss Dogg’s stage with my new songKnocc ‘Em Down banging in the background. What more could you ask for?”

A quick and painless death?

Tekken Tag Tournament 2 will be released on Xbox 360 and PS3 on September 14th.
