Grand Theft Auto Now Boasts Julian Casablancas and Dr. Dre – Rolling Stone

Seven years after its launch, Grand Theft Auto, via the game’s new Cayo Perico Heist update, has received its most substantial musical bump to date — reflecting the growing foothold that video games have on a music industry intent on finding digital revenue opportunities.

The entire list of musical add-ons in this update is extensive. In the game’s most interactive music feature, three well-known DJs — Moodymann, Palms Trax and DJ collective Keinemusik — are now residents at The Music Locker, GTA Online’s virtual nightclub where players can hang out. All three have their own sets and digital avatars in the game. Elsewhere, Dr. Dre, Jimmy Iovine and DJ Pooh make cameos playing themselves in one of the update’s cutscenes (Iovine even gets a phone call with his ringtone set to Stevie Nicks’s “Edge of Seventeen,” a song he produced).

I launched my Blog site in 2010, inspired by platforms like Complex Networks, Nigel D's RealTalkNY, NahRight, MissInfo.tv, Elliott Wilson, and Brian "B.Dot" Miller. (Rap Radar) It started as a passion project -sharing hip-hop videos, music, interviews, and more, just for the love of the culture. Fast forward to today, I'm still at it, driven by the thrill of discovering fresh, unique hip-hop and cultural moments to share with others. My goal? To help people uncover some real dope content. - Yaosoner View all posts by YaosoneR
