Revision as of 19:02, 3 July 2016
Radio Los Santos is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas and Grand Theft Auto V. In both games, the station plays contemporary hip-hop. However, while GTA: San Andreas focuses exclusively on west coast artists, GTA V features rappers from all over the United States. The player can buy stocks from the radio station on the Lcn-exchange.com website in GTA V.
Description
The station, evidently, broadcasts from Los Santos. This station was released in a joint album with Playback FM as part of the 8-Disc soundtrack. The station also includes references to "carjacking on the rise", Los Santos gang violence, and the Los Santos drug/crack problem - being that these activities play a key element of the gameplay and the story. This is the favourite radio station of the Grove Street Families and Ryder. The station DJ is Julio G. Rapper B-Real from Cypress Hill makes an appearance on the station and so does Madd Dogg who is voiced by Ice-T. Other appearances on the radio station includes OG Loc and Big Smoke once the first chapter (Los Santos missions) has been completed.
In Grand Theft Auto V it appears once again, this time hosted by Big Boy - host of Big Boy's neighborhood in Los Angeles and voice of Big Bear in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Trivia
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas
- Radio Los Santos may be based on real life L.A. radio stations KPWR 105.9 (Power 106) and 93.5 KDAY. The SA version of RLS may likely be based on KDAY as Julio G was a former DJ on the station. GTA V's version is likely based on Power 106 as Big Boy was a DJ for the station until 2015, when he moved to KRRL 92.3 (The Real).
- When 2Pac's "I Don't Give a Fuck" plays, Julio sometimes mentions that he is scared about playing the song due to its heavy use of profanity as well as political lyrical content and he'll likely get a fine for playing it. Despite this, most of the songs on the playlist contain explicit content.
- Radio Los Santos is the default radio station in the Greenwood. However, Sweet's Greenwood plays Bounce FM when entered.
- If CJ wears Grove Street colors, sometimes when idling he would rap the lyrics to Dr. Dre's "Nuthin' But a G Thang."
Grand Theft Auto V
- Jay Rock's "Hood Gone Love It" is used in Franklin Clinton's trailer. It is also played in the Stretch that Jimmy and Michael ride to the Oriental Theater in during the mission "Meltdown."
- This is Franklin Clinton's favorite radio station, as it is the default station for both of his vehicles, along with The Lab which can rarely come on in the enhanced version of the game. It plays inside both of his safehouses.
- In the enhanced (Xbox One/PS4/PC) version of the game, whenever the player starts the mission Franklin and Lamar and chooses to repossess either the 9F or the Rapid GT, the radio is switched on automatically to Radio Los Santos and the song Bad News from Danny Brown & Action Bronson will always play.
- This is in contrast to the original version of the game (PS3/Xbox 360), which will instead play "Appetite For Destruction" by N.W.A. (featured on West Coast Classics) during the mission.
- The same song is also featured in the Welcome to Los Santos album by The Alchemist and Oh No, in which all of the songs except for this one can be heard in The Lab.
- Radio Los Santos is one of the three radio stations to cross universes, the others being Head Radio and West Coast Talk Radio.
- In GTA V, the host mentions that there was recently a new design for the $100 bill, a reference to the new design of the United States $100 bill.
- Chuck Inglish's song "Come Thru/Easily" was featured in the soundtrack of Watch Dogs, considered by some to be a GTA Clone.
- Kendrick Lamar's song "Swimming Pools (Drank)" has appeared on the soundtrack of Saints Row IV, a game considered by some to be a GTA Clone.
- Despite 2 Chainz being credited in "Upper Echelon", the GTA edit ends the song after T.I.'s part, before 2 Chainz' verse.
- While listening to the song "A.D.H.D" by Kendrick Lamar on the Xbox 360 and the Xbox One versions of Grand Theft Auto V, the word "Playstation" which is featured in the song has been purposely distorted.
- Occasionally there is a glitch where the song "Hold Up" by Marion Band$ feat. Nipsey Hussle may be heard on Los Santos Rock Radio. (tested on the PS3 and PS4).
- "How It Was" is officially by DJ Esco featuring Future, however in-game only the latter is credited.
