Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson will act as Executive Soundtrack Producer on the upcoming WWE 2K18, 2K recently announced.

This means that The Rock will have the final say in the game’s soundtrack, as part of a collaboration with 2K and Apple Music.

“Music is one of my soul’s anchors. All genres. I’m excited to celebrate my WWE roots by partnering with 2K and Apple Music teams and share some of my favorite hardcore training songs with fans all over the world.”

Here’s what The Rock has cooked curated:

  • Blues Brothers – “Soul Man”

  • Bruno Mars – “Runaway Baby”
  • Disturbed – “Down With The Sickness”
  • Eazy-E – “Boyz-N-The-Hood”
