“Where the players play, and the pimps pimp, and the hustlers hustle alone, yo.”
— Game Radio FM
Game Radio FM is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto III which plays hip hop and gangsta rap featuring many lesser-known real-life artists and MCs. The station is hosted by DJ Stretch Armstrong and Lord Sear as themselves.
Description[]
Game Radio FM comes across as an east coast hip hop station with street-wise sensibilities (Lord Sear sees a carjacking through the radio station's windows at the end of the playlist).
The name of the station comes from Game Recordings, who produced most of the songs on the station.
This is the Southside Hoods', the Diablos' and the Yakuza's favorite radio stations.

Trivia[]
- The crown design on the logo looks somewhat similar to the Diablos crown on their outfits in GTA III.
- Like "Life Is But A Mere Supply" on Head Radio and "Grand Theft Auto" on Lips 106, lyrics were censored for profanity and different sounds were edited in those parts. This practice would be discontinued starting in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
- "We're Live (Danger)" by Royce Da 5'9" was sampled from "Maneater" by Hall & Oates, which can be heard on Vice City FM in Grand Theft Auto: Episodes from Liberty City.
