Most of us were put on the Gary Clark Jr. track after Nas was featured on his remix of Bright Lights.

Mr Nasir Jones and Gary Clark Jr have been tapped to provide a portion of the soundtrack for ESPN’s coverage of the 2012 NFL draft this upcoming week (April 26th-28th).

The following tracks (along with an upcoming Nas track called “Train) will be featured during highlight packages on draft days:
