Rockstar Games has unveiled the track list for an updated radio soundtrack in anticipation for the new Grand Theft Auto V gaming experience, coming to Xbox One and Playstation 4 on November 18.

 

GTAV, which was initially released for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, debuted in September of 2013 earning $1 billion in its first three days. The groundbreaking sandbox shooter remains the second most expensive entertainment media project of all time ($265 million), second only to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End ($300 million).

 

The game’s violent gameplay, drug references and sexual content is only overshadowed by its legendary selection of music, which can be accessed while riding in a vehicle and choosing between one of GTAV’s 17 radio stations. The music genres range from roots funk, to modern-era hip hop, to punk rock, and everything in between.

 

Included in the new batch of 162 new songs to be released Tuesday are several Detroit artists: Danny Brown (“Bad News” and “Kush Coma” featuring fellow Bruiser Brigade member and Detroit rapper ZelooperZ), Smokey Robinson (“Why You Wanna See My Bad Side?”), Jimmy Edgar (“Let Yrself Be”), Chuck Inglish (“Came Thru/Easily”)  and Mike Posner (“Cooler Than Me”).

 

Danny Brown can also be found within the GTAV gameplay, as a trash-talking lifeguard patrolling a beach on the coast of the game’s fictional LA-inspired city of Los Santos. Brown is scheduled to perform alongside the Bruiser Brigade collective on November 26, at the Majestic Theatre.
