When
Rockstar unveiled the first trailer for Grand
Theft Auto V back in November,
the internet went into a frenzy trying
to dissect as much information
as they could from the short clip. We know that the game takes players
back to Los Santos, GTA’s version Los Angeles, though whether or not
we’ll be exploring all of San Andreas still remains to be seen. Our
protagonist this time around is an older fellow who moved to Los Santos
with hopes of retiring from, “you know…that.” The trailer also
alluded that the game taking place in present day by focusing heavily
on themes of foreclosure and economic hardships.
Four months have passed since
the trailer hit, and Rockstar has been quiet regarding GTA V. Because
of this radio silence, I’ve decided to take matters into our own hands
and begin theorizing about one of my favorite parts of any Grand Theft
Auto title: the soundtrack. The series’ began to put a major emphasis
on music with the release of Vice
City back in 2002, and since
then, each installment has featured a growing sprawl of amazing audio
spread across a wide variety of radio stations. In keeping with the
variety of the past titles, I’ve compiled a list of ten songs that
would be perfect to listen to while blazing through the streets of Los
Santos. And be sure to check out the end of this article for details on how to listen to the full playlist through Spotify.
