Dom Dolla’s Unreleased Track “What’s Up New York” Becomes Unofficial Anthem for the Knicks’ Playoff Run

There’s a new sound shaking the rafters of Madison Square Garden and it’s not just the roar of the crowd or the swish of a Jalen Brunson three. It’s “What’s Up New York,” an unreleased track by Australian DJ and producer Dom Dolla, and it’s fast becoming the unofficial anthem of the New York Knicks’ electric postseason run.

Although the track has yet to see an official release, its presence at The Garden is undeniable. Blasting through the speakers before and during playoff games, “What’s Up New York” has found a home in the heart of Knicks Nation, adding another layer of hype to an already electric atmosphere. Fans have latched onto its gritty, pulsating energy, mirroring the team’s hard-nosed playing style and the city’s trademark swagger.

The track’s New York-centric title and infectious rhythm have helped it transcend typical pregame playlist status. It now feels like a rallying cry, a sonic signal that something big is about to happen in Manhattan. And for Knicks fans, it has making their deepest postseason run in over two decades, with dreams of a Finals appearance still alive.

Adding to the legend, Dom Dolla himself opened his own sold-out Madison Square Garden show a few months ago with “What’s Up New York,” causing a frenzy among concertgoers and further solidifying the track’s place in NYC lore. It was a moment of cultural synergy: an artist on the rise paying homage to a city and a team that’s rising right alongside him.

If the NBA were to officially license the track for the Knicks, the move could mark a groundbreaking partnership between the league and one of electronic music’s fastest-rising stars. It would be a powerful way to bridge music and sport, culture and competition and it would no doubt fuel the Knicks’ hype machine even further.

Whether the track gets an official release soon or not, one thing is certain: “What’s Up New York” already belongs to the city. And with the Knicks chasing glory on the biggest stage in basketball, here’s hoping the anthem that’s soundtracked their run finally gets the release it deserves.

Either way it goes, let’s hope we get an official drop soon…
