At the conclusion of his big fight in Def Jam Vendetta, D-Mob (Christopher Judge), the mob boss gangster from Baltimore who controlled the New York underground, was arrested. His arrest is shortlived, however, as a young punk (the player) busts D-Mob out of police custody on his way to jail. But on the street, reputation and respect are everything, and D-Mob lost both. Another gangster by the name of Crow (Snoop Dogg) from Long Beach is muscling in on D-Mob's New York turf. The only way to get it back is to fight for it, in the clubs, the streets, the alleys and the basements. There's no holds barred and no holding back in the Fight for New York.
