In this blog I'll be talking about Def Jam: Icon and how they incorporate hip-hop culture into every aspect of the game. Def Jam: Icon delivers the intensity of a no-holds-barred street fight but with style and rhythm. Players can live out the life of a hip hop mogul, going from rags to riches. Music will effect how players fight in each venue and environmental interactions and hazards will become a key strategy to staying alive.It will be released about March 6th and will be about $59.99. Instead of being 1-4 players like the previous Def Jam: Fight for NY this one will be 1-2 players, BUT will be online instead of Fight for NY.
This is a unofficial list of some of the characters that can be used in the title:
Anthony Anderson,Kevin Liles,Paul Wall,Tego,Fat Joe,Lil Jon ,Redman,The Game Funkmaster Flex Ludacris Robert Dolan Young Jeezy Ghostface Killah Mayra Veronica Russell Simmons

The demo will appear on Xbox Live Marketplace February 8th, according to EA. The details of the demo haven't changed; it will feature the Gas Station level and include two playable characters, T.I. and Outkast's Big Boi. Both artists will also have a song included in the demo. The full game will feature 29 songs, and the ability to create a custom soundtrack on the Xbox 360 version.
