The Grand Theft Auto series next installment, San Andreas, will include many of the influential songs of the 90’s including cuts from 2Pac, Public Enemy, Cypress Hill, D.O.C., Slick Rick, the late Rick James and others. While the game includes the likes of Samuel Jackson, Faizon Love and Charlie Murphy as voice actors, the real treat is the music embedded in the game.





The game will feature a broad selection of tracks ranging from contemporary west coast and classic east coast hip-hop, funk, rare-groove, new jack swing, contemporary soul, alternative rock, classic rock, reggae and country. In-game radio stations have become one of the signature aspects of the Grand Theft Auto franchise, delivering a realistic radio experience by allowing players to tune the radio station in the huge selection of vehicles in the game to any station they like, complete with hours of satirical commercials and DJ banter that cleverly parodies a wide mix of radio formats.





Rockstar Games and Interscope Records will release a double CD soundtrack as well as an 8 CD box-set soundtrack to the highly-anticipated videogame. The multi CD and box sets are scheduled for release on November 23 through Universal Music Canada. As a bonus, the official soundtrack double CD will feature a separate stand-alone DVD containing 'The Introduction', the cinematic prologue to Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. 'The Introduction' tells the full story of the events leading up to the main characters return to San Andreas. This exclusive prequel is not available anywhere else and has been crafted with the highest production standards Rockstar is famous for.
