Grand Theft Auto (GTA) is known for its fancy and star-studded collaborations with some of the biggest stars from the pop culture world. Be it as real characters or as collaborators for music videos. GTA V witnesses some similar collaborations that are absolute blockbusters.
Rockstar Games, the developer of GTA is always on a hunt to make the game better through updates and also offering a wide range of new and interesting content for its players to enhance the gaming experience of the players. For this GTA developer Rockstar is also seen heavily investing in the game promotion and adding features that will entice the audience.
How much does GTA spend on Music?
Sources suggest that Rockstar Games spends as much as $5,000 per music composition. Additionally, the developer also spends another $5,000 on every master recording of each track. In case we assume the same deal is applied to all songs, Rockstar’s soundtrack budget may be assumed to exceed $2 million.
Rockstar Games uses licensed music tracks in GTA which are sometimes provided by an in-game radio. In the past, the game has used music tracks from famous singers as well including Dr Dre, Diplo, Rick Ross, JayZ, ASAP Rocky, Rihanna, and several others.
Was r-Cali by ASAP Rocky just made for GTA V?
ASAP Rocky’s famous music track r-Cali appears on the Grand Theft Auto V soundtrack on Radio Los Santos. Reports suggest that the song was made specifically for the video game. The title was supposed to be fitting since GTA V takes place in a fictional Los Angeles, similar to the region.
Interestingly, R Cali by ASAP Rocky also featured talented artists such as Joey Fatts and A$ton Matthews. Both of them are artists based out of California. Additionally, both these artists are also a part of the group named Cutthroat Boyz, along with Vince Staples.
Is Rihanna in GTA V?
GTA V features a character who looks very similar to Rihanna. The pop star’s lookalike character is seen in GTA 5 PS4 Video Game. The character is seen working at the front window in GTA 5 at the Vanilla Unicorn Night Club. Reportedly the lookalike character is also named Rihanna.
However, this is not the only time Rihanna shared a GTA connection. Rihanna’s superhit song Only Girl in the World was featured in GTA 5. It was performed by Rihanna and featured on the radio station Non-Stop Pop FM in Grand Theft Auto V.
