Trivia

• This is the favourite radio station of Bernie Crane and Tony Prince, and is the default station in Tony's car. It is also one of the two favorite radio stations of the Albanian Mob, the other being Liberty City Hardcore.

• "Menergy" by Sylvester, "Shake Your Groove Thing" by Peaches & Herb, "Relight My Fire" by Dan Hartman and "A Lover's Holiday" by Change plays during the end credits of The Ballad of Gay Tony.
• One of the tracks, "Walk The Night" by the Skatt Brothers, was actually the subject of a rather infamous licensing event.
