Trivia

 * "The Grip", known as "Gun Novel" in the game files is remixed by MNDR feat. Killer Mike into "Lock & Load", released in 2015. Lock and Load is featured in the Welcome to Los Santos album and is played on The Lab in-game.
 * The brass theme from "We Were Set Up" (PB2 Pussyface) is used in the beginning of the track "Wanderer" by Little Dragon which is also played on The Lab.
 * The Lab itself is hosted by The Alchemist and Oh No, the game's composers, thus some of their in-game tracks are played on this radio station as jingles.
 * Many of the tracks appearing on Volume 2: The Score appear in the Grand Theft Auto Online gameplay trailer, in respective order:
 * A Lonely Man (PB1)
 * We Were Set Up (PB2 Pussyface)
 * Track 8
 * Chop The Dog (Chop Fred Halen)
 * Univ
 * Many of the tracks appearing on Volume 2: The Score appear in the Grand Theft Auto V gameplay trailer, in respective order:
 * North Yankton Memories (Vacuum)
 * A Haze of Patriotic Fever (Nine Blurt)
 * Rich Man's Play Thing (Dragoner)

 * "Crocodile Tears" by Woody Jackson plays during the PS3/PS4 GTA V Comparison trailer.
 * "Universal" by Tangerine Dream was unused in GTA V until the release of the Freemode Events Update, where it is remixed slightly (named "Univ") and used in Freemode Events Kill List and Kill List Competitive. This version is also featured at the beginning and end of the Rockstar Editor trailer. Interestingly, the track also appeared at the end of the GTA Online announcement trailer, albeit with a higher pitch and several different stems. The original track, however, can randomly play during select Organization Work missions.
