DJ Green Lantern, former deejay for multi-platinum artist Eminem and current Def Jam signee, was picked by Rockstar Games to create a custom radio station for the video game Grand Theft Auto.

He recently told Reuters, “It's such a big platform, first of all, (and) the chance to do something that's a first. It's based in a New York-type of setting, so I can use my artist relationships and go make songs for this particular mood that I'm trying to achieve.” The official soundtrack for GTA, featuring music from the game along with eight new songs will be drop May 19^th.

Green Lantern also threw his turntables in the political arena by creating a Barack Obama mixtape that dropped before the recent HSAN event in Philadelphia [click here to read]. "I got a big political mixtape coming out that I can’t speak on right now ‘cause this is a non-partisan event. But Google me and one of the candidates names and you’ll see who it is," said Green, at the event last week.
