The Knicks are Back
?It?s showtime!? XXLMag.com has learned that the New York Knicks tapped Swizz Beatz to upgrade their longtime theme song, ?Go NY Go.?
Following in Q-Tip?s footsteps, Swizz was asked to bring his signature sound to NY?s famed basketball team.
Asked how the deal came about, the superproducer?s rep told XXL: ?[Swizz] is from from the Bronx. [The Knicks] always try to get people that have that connection, people who they feel could really pay homage ?cause they represent that culture. Plus, [with] the new sizzle that they have with Carmelo [Anthony] and Amare [Stoudemire], they want to give people an updated but still vintage song that reflects the old [song]. It?s just a lil? more spicy.?
The track is set to premiere in time for the playoffs, which begins on Saturday, April 16. Swizz is also set to film a short video for the theme along with several of the Knicks all-stars this week, that will appear on the MSG network shortly. ?Jesse Gissen
