'''Radio Los Santos''' (106.1) is a [[Radio Stations in GTA San Andreas|radio station]] in [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]] and [[Grand Theft Auto V]]. In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, it plays [[wp:West Coast hip hop|West Coast hip hop]] from the late 1980s and early 1990s - primarily the "Gangsta Rap" sub-genre. The station, evidently, broadcasts from [[Los Santos]]. This station was released in a joint album with [[Playback FM]] as part of the 8-Disc soundtrack. The station also includes references to "carjacking on the rise", Los Santos gang violence, and the Los Santos drug/crack problem - being that these activities play a key element of the gameplay and the story. This is the favorite radio station of the [[Grove Street Families]] and [[Ryder]]. The station DJ is [[Julio G]]. Rapper B-Real from Cypress Hill makes an appearance on the station and so does [[Madd Dogg]] who is voiced by Ice T. Other appearances on the radio station includes [[OG Loc]] and [[Big Smoke]] once the first chapter (Los Santos missions) has been completed. In Grand Theft Auto V it plays modern hip hop and is hosted by real life radio host [[Kurt Alexander|Big Boy]] - host of Big Boy's neighborhood in Los Angeles and voice of [[Big Bear]] in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

{{Quote|You people got to learn the difference between a rapper and a gangster. A rapper is someone who talks a lot and gets paid a lot of money for, but don't actually run around with a gun. A gangster is a guy with a gun who kills people and spends most of his adult life in prison. They ain't the same thing yo, no matter what anybody says.

'''Radio Los Santos''' is a [[Radio Stations|radio station]] in ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]'', ''[[Grand Theft Auto V]]'', and ''[[Grand Theft Auto Online]]''. In both games, the station plays contemporary hip-hop. However, while ''GTA San Andreas'' focuses exclusively on West Coast artists, ''GTA V'' features rappers from all regions of the United States. The player can buy stocks from the radio station on the [[Lcn-exchange.com]] website in ''GTA V''.

==Description==
  +
The station, evidently, broadcasts from [[Los Santos]]. As revealed through its [[BAWSAQ]] description in ''GTA V'', it started broadcasting in [[1988]] in the [[HD Universe]].
−
[[File:Radio_Los_Santos.jpg|thumb|170px|Logo, circa 1992]]
  
  +
  +
According to its callers and station idents, Radio Los Santos is the more popular of the two hip hop stations in ''GTA San Andreas''. Its playlist predominantly features early-1990s rap from West Coast acts, in contrast to [[Playback FM]]'s playlist which features late-1980s rap from East Coast acts. The two stations were released together in the 8-CD ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Official Soundtrack Box Set]]''.
  +
  +
The radio station's DJ in 1992 is [[Julio G]]. In contrast to the music he plays, Julio presents a "straight man" attitude, advocating for peace in [[Los Santos (3D Universe)|Los Santos]]' neighborhoods, encouraging listeners to do something useful for the community, criticizing violence, drug use, and those who confuse rappers and gangsters, and disapproving of the looting during the [[Los Santos Riots|riots]] in the final stages of the game. He is one of the few characters in the whole ''GTA'' series to encourage good practices.
  +
  +
The station also includes references to "carjacking [being] on the rise", Los Santos gang violence, and the Los Santos crack epidemic, activities that encompass a large part of the gameplay and the story. Rapper {{WP|B-Real}} from {{WP|Cypress Hill}} makes an appearance on the station, as does [[Madd Dogg (3D Universe)|Madd Dogg]], who is voiced by [[Ice-T]]. Other appearances on the radio station include [[OG Loc]] and [[Big Smoke]] once the player has completed the first act of the game (the missions in Los Santos).
  +
  +
If Carl ignores [[Denise Robinson]], she will get the station to do a shout-out to Carl on air to come and visit her.
  +
  +
This is the favourite radio station of the [[Grove Street Families]] and [[Ryder]].
  +
  +
The station reappears in ''Grand Theft Auto V'', this time hosted by [[Kurt Alexander|Big Boy]] - host of ''Big Boy's Neighborhood'' in Los Angeles and voice of [[Big Bear]] in ''GTA San Andreas''.
  +
  +
This is one of the preferred stations of [[Franklin Clinton]], [[Lamar Davis]], the [[The Families|Families]], and the [[Ballas (HD Universe)|Ballas]].

==Trivia==
  
==Trivia==
  +
=== General ===
−
* Radio Los Santos may be based on real life L.A. radio stations 105.9 Power 106 and 93.5 KDAY; the latter more likely as Julio G was a former DJ on the station.
  
  +
*Radio Los Santos may be based on real-life Los Angeles-based radio stations 93.5 KDAY and KPWR 105.9 (Power 106):
−
* During Eazy-E's song, Julio mentions Compton instead of its in-game fictional counterpart [[Ganton]] .
  
  +
**The ''GTA San Andreas'' rendition of Radio Los Santos may likely be based on {{WP|KDAY|KDAY 93.5}} as Julio G was a former DJ on the station.
−
* When 2Pac's "I Don't Give a Fuck" plays, Julio sometimes mentions that he is scared about playing the song due to its heavy use of profanity as well as political lyrical content and he'll likely get a fine for playing it.
  
  +
**The ''GTA V'' rendition is most likely based on {{WP|KPWR|Power 106}} as Big Boy was a DJ for the station until 2015, when he moved to {{WP|KRRL|KRRL 92.3}} (The Real).
−
* Chronologically, there are some errors made in the dialog. N.W.A broke up in 1991 yet Julio G comments on their "Alwayz Into Somethin'" song as if they are still together. This is further contradicted by the fact that Dr. Dre's songs "Nuthin' But a G Thang" and "Fuck wit Dre Day" from his album, ''The Chronic'', appear. Both were recorded when Dr. Dre left N.W.A and the latter is a diss aimed at former N.W.A member, Eazy-E.
  
  +
*Radio Los Santos is one of three radio stations to appear in multiple universes, the others being [[Head Radio]] and [[West Coast Talk Radio]].
−
*Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self" is played in its edited radio version, which is strange because every other song on the radio appears in explicit/original form, including other singles that had radio versions in real life (such as Ice Cube's "It Was a Good Day" and Dr. Dre's "Dre Day").
  
−
* This radio station can be heard in any wardrobe in [[safehouses]] and also in any mod garage. (If the player consistently listens to it)
  
−
* Radio Los Santos is the default radio station in the [[Greenwood]]. However, Sweet's [[Greenwood]] does not play Radio Los Santos when entered.
  
−
* Jay Rock's song is used in [[Franklin]] 's trailer.
  
−
* The GTA V version of the station noticeably doesn't exclusively feature West Coast rappers, as it also features some notable rappers from the South (Gucci Mane, Future, etc), the Midwest (Freddie Gibbs) and East Coast (A$AP Rocky).
  
−
* It is likely that the station was founded between 1988-89. This is because of the [[GTA V]] website's quote stating that it has been 'blazin' hip hop for 25 years'.
  
−
* This is [[Franklin Clinton|Franklin Clinton's]] favorite radio station.
  
−
* Radio Los Santos is one of the only two radio stations ever to cross universes, the other being [[WCTR]] .

“
You people got to learn the difference between a rapper and a gangster. A rapper is someone who talks a lot and gets paid a lot of money for, but don't actually run around with a gun. A gangster is a guy with a gun who kills people and spends most of his adult life in prison. They ain't the same thing yo, no matter what anybody says. Keep it real.
”
— GTA San Andreas
“
Contemporary Hip Hop blazing into your stereo.
”
— Description at LCN.com.

Radio Los Santos is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Grand Theft Auto V, and Grand Theft Auto Online. In both games, the station plays contemporary hip-hop. However, while GTA San Andreas focuses exclusively on West Coast artists, GTA V features rappers from all regions of the United States. The player can buy stocks from the radio station on the Lcn-exchange.com website in GTA V.

Description

The station, evidently, broadcasts from Los Santos. As revealed through its BAWSAQ description in GTA V, it started broadcasting in 1988 in the HD Universe.

According to its callers and station idents, Radio Los Santos is the more popular of the two hip hop stations in GTA San Andreas. Its playlist predominantly features early-1990s rap from West Coast acts, in contrast to Playback FM's playlist which features late-1980s rap from East Coast acts. The two stations were released together in the 8-CD Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas: Official Soundtrack Box Set.

The radio station's DJ in 1992 is Julio G. In contrast to the music he plays, Julio presents a "straight man" attitude, advocating for peace in Los Santos' neighborhoods, encouraging listeners to do something useful for the community, criticizing violence, drug use, and those who confuse rappers and gangsters, and disapproving of the looting during the riots in the final stages of the game. He is one of the few characters in the whole GTA series to encourage good practices.

The station also includes references to "carjacking [being] on the rise", Los Santos gang violence, and the Los Santos crack epidemic, activities that encompass a large part of the gameplay and the story. Rapper B-Real from Cypress Hill makes an appearance on the station, as does Madd Dogg, who is voiced by Ice-T. Other appearances on the radio station include OG Loc and Big Smoke once the player has completed the first act of the game (the missions in Los Santos).

If Carl ignores Denise Robinson, she will get the station to do a shout-out to Carl on air to come and visit her.

This is the favourite radio station of the Grove Street Families and Ryder.

The station reappears in Grand Theft Auto V, this time hosted by Big Boy - host of Big Boy's Neighborhood in Los Angeles and voice of Big Bear in GTA San Andreas.

This is one of the preferred stations of Franklin Clinton, Lamar Davis, the Families, and the Ballas.

Additionally, an introduction for a song by Mac Miller was found. Nothing else is known about it.

The subject of this article or section refers to sensitive leaked content. Please add references when adding content to this page. Any speculative/misinformed content that is not verified should be discussed on the talk page.

Found in the 2023 GTA V source code leak[13] was a log output of all the files found in the RPF archive of an early GTA Online: The Contract build, with a list of songs that did not appear on either the final versions of Radio Los Santos, MOTOMAMI Los Santos, or West Coast Classics[14][15]. Only the file names are known; it is not known which artists performed the song or to which station the songs belonged, but some approximation based on the song names alone is possible:

  • Chief Keef feat. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie – Glory Bridge (2017)
  • Chief Keef - It Ain't My Fault (2012)
  • Fenix Flexin feat. D-Block Europe – From The Block (2021)
  • Flipp Denero – Leave Me Alone (2018)
  • Freddie Gibbs feat. Big Sean & Hit-Boy – 4 Thangs (2020)

Additionally, an unidentified song that was most likely part of Radio Los Santos was found:

  • spin_again.awc

Trivia

General

  • Radio Los Santos may be based on real-life Los Angeles-based radio stations 93.5 KDAY and KPWR 105.9 (Power 106):
    • The GTA San Andreas rendition of Radio Los Santos may likely be based on KDAY 93.5 as Julio G was a former DJ on the station.
    • The GTA V rendition is most likely based on Power 106 as Big Boy was a DJ for the station until 2015, when he moved to KRRL 92.3 (The Real).
  • Radio Los Santos is one of three radio stations to appear in multiple universes, the others being Head Radio and West Coast Talk Radio.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

Grand Theft Auto V

  • Occasionally there is a glitch where the song "Hold Up" by Marion Band$ feat. Nipsey Hussle may be heard on Los Santos Rock Radio. (tested on the PS3 and PS4).
  • While listening to the song "A.D.H.D" by Kendrick Lamar, the word "PlayStation" which is featured in the song has been purposely distorted.
  • "How It Was" by DJ Esco featuring Future is incorrectly credited solely to Future in-game.
  • In GTA V, the host mentions that there was recently a new design for the $100 bill, a reference to the new design of the United States $100 bill at the time.
  • A portion of the songs added to the station in The Contract update used to be featured as their censored variants. This was most likely a mistake and has since been corrected.

Enhanced versions

  • The song Bad News by Danny Brown & Action Bronson is also featured in the Welcome to Los Santos album by The Alchemist and Oh No, in which all of the songs except for this one can be heard in The Lab. This song was also cut from previous-gen releases as seen in the trackID.gxt2 files.
