Description

The station is hosted by hip-hop producer DJ Premier. It is one of two hip-hop stations in Liberty City, the other being The Beat 102.7, which plays modern day and contemporary hip hop, as opposed to The Classics, which caters to old school hip-hop from the early 1980s to the mid 1990s.

This is one of Dwayne Forge's & Playboy X's preferred radio stations.

The station is not featured in Episodes from Liberty City although in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, The Classics 104.1, along with all other GTA IV exclusive radio stations, appears in The Lost and Damned and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
