In GTA V, radio stations will once again play a big part in immersing you in your new city (Picture: Rockstar)

Following the leaked soundtrack, Rockstar has posted SoundCloud snippets of the radio stations you will be listening to as you go mass-homiciding round Los Santos.

The music is set to be as eclectic as ever, cementing the cultural differences between Los Santos’ various districts, while the DJs will add some colour and commentary to the events taking place in the city – everything from political elections and new openings to bank heists that you may or may not have something to do with.

There will be 15 stations in total (including talk radio), here’s what you can expect from five of them.



Fly LoFM will be hosted by Flying Lotus and feature a number of the experimental hip hop producer’s tracks, along with a new cut from Tyler, the Creator called Garbage.


Other highlights include A$AP Rocky collaborator Clams Casino, a track from Outkast and Aphex Twin’s classic Windowlicker.
