Two new producer tracks were also revealed today, with Cool & Dre's "Epidemic" and DJ Khalil's "The Good Doctor" slated for inclusion in the game.
Def Jam Rapstar will let aspiring emcees sing along with more than 40 hip-hop tracks and record and share the results with an online community. The game also features a Freestyle mode, in which gamers can drop their own rhymes over tracks laid down by a variety of hip-hop producers.
Def Jam Rapstar is set to arrive for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii in North America on October 5, with a European debut confirmed for November 5. For more on the game, check out GameSpot's previous coverage.
