Wildstyle Pirate Radio is a radio station in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City hosted by "Super Rocking" Mr. Magic. The station plays old-school hip hop and electro music.

Description[]

Wildstyle is an underground pirate radio, a fact that its DJ frequently mentions, taunting the police because they can't find its whereabouts.

The format seems to be that of an unofficial mixtape, common in the early days of hip hop, and moreover many of the earliest hip hop acts in history are featured. One of the songs, Whodini's "Magic's Wand" even mentions the DJ, Mr. Magic, in its lyrics.

Mr. Magic boasts that, as a pirate radio, they don't play commercials; however, there's a single commercial in there, from the Complete the Look clothing store advertising some hip hop apparels.
