GTA 6 may feature Drake’s exclusive radio station, claims influential rap icon

A major music scoop has emerged about Grand Theft Auto VI. During a recent appearance on the New Rory & MAL podcast, a prominent American rapper and producer revealed that global icon Drake might have his very own radio station within the game.

If it is true, this feature could signal a massive change to the way music is becoming part of the GTA universe, with the potential to bring exclusive tracks to players for the first time.

Drake's own radio station might revolutionize the soundscape of GTA 6

On the New Rory & MAL podcast, longtime rapper and producer Jermaine Dupri spilled a tantalizing tidbit: Drake allegedly has his own radio station in GTA 6. "They asked me to do like Grand Theft Auto, and they were saying like Drake got his own radio station on Grand Theft Auto," Dupri explained, as relayed by a clip recorded by Victor Baez on X (formerly Twitter).This claim suggests that GTA 6 might not only feature a curated station by Drake, but also potentially include unreleased music. Dupri hinted at this possibility, saying artists involved could introduce previously unheard tracks through the game, offering a unique and immersive platform for music discovery.

Big-name artists fuel hype for GTA 6’s evolving audio

Drake is not the only artist that has been reported to be associated with GTA 6's radio waves. Other artists such as Kendrick Lamar and DJ Khaled have also been mentioned in rumors about the game's changing audio experience.

Rockstar Games has had a tradition of selecting culturally diverse soundtracks, and this upcoming installment appears to be breaking the mold.However, recent leaks reported by GameRoll suggest that the ability to listen to music outside of vehicles may not be included in GTA 6. Despite earlier speculation fueled by images of Lucia wearing headphones, sources now indicate that in-game music will likely remain restricted to vehicle radios, keeping the traditional GTA audio experience largely intact.Even without out-of-car listening features, GTA 6 still appears poised to deliver one of the most artist-driven and curated soundtracks ever featured in an open-world game.With GTA 6 already raking up huge hype, the prospect of exclusive music content from Drake and perhaps others, might elevate the game's mood to unprecedented levels. Whether unreleased songs or genre-melding playlists, the transformation of in-game radio might prove to be a key aspect of Rockstar's next big hit.Also Read: GTA Online's June 17 update lets players go clean to stay dirty
