Bad Bunny and Lana Del Rey will take to the virtual airwaves as hosts of some of the featured radio stations in Grand Theft Auto 6.
Bad Bunny and fellow Puerto Rican singer-songwriter RaiNao will appear in the video game as El Martillo and La Gata, hosts
of Cocoteo FM, which focuses on modern Latin music. Meanwhile Del Rey and Morgan Wallen will link up as MW and Delta Dawne, hosts of Back Country Radio, which specializes in classic and outlaw country music. Del Rey’s husband, Jeremy Dufrene, will even have a bit role as Mud Dog Mike, Back Country Radio’s roving reporter, swamp meteorologist, and airboat captain (which Dufrene is in real life).
Del Rey spoke about contributing to the new GTA after being a fan of the franchise for years: “One of the coolest things about this is the fact that the first time some of our family got to LA they actually knew the roads because of playing the game.” (A few GTA installments are partly set in a Los Angeles-like city called Los Santos. The new one is set in the Florida-inspired state of Leonida.)
“On so many different levels this is super special and a privilege,” Del Rey said. “Can’t wait to get into the game and start playing.”
Along with Cocoteo FM and Back Country Radio, GTA 6 will boast four more featured stations with notable hosts. Robyn and model/actress Alex Consani will helm the pop station Flash FM; Trick Daddy and Trina will spin regional rap and classic hip-hop on Dirty South Classics; Nigerian superstar Burna Boy and DJ Palms Trax will helm AfroBank FM, featuring contemporary and classic African music; and Slayer’s Kerry King and Tom Araya will oversee the heavy metal station, The Chamber 106.6. Fans can preview all six featured stations over on the GTA 6 website.
GTA 6 will also have its own soundtrack album with 34 original tracks made for the game. A full track list hasn’t been revealed yet, but Travis Scott, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Yung Lean, andKeith Richards have released songs for the soundtrack. The GTA 6 album will arrive Nov. 19, the same day as the highly anticipated game.
