Twin Shadow makes several references to the connection of locations from GTA and their real-life counterparts. During the announcement of the song "Battle Tapes - Feel The Same", he comments "From here, from Los Santos". Battle Tapes is based in Los Angeles, California. During the announcement of the song "Yeasayer - Don't Come Close", he comments that it is "psychedelic pop from The Broker". Yeasayer is based in Brooklyn, New York. In the game files, this radio is listed as "silverlake", a reference to the Silver Lake area of Los Angeles (on which Mirror Park is based), an area known for its hipsters and indie music scene, reinforcing the station's connection to the hipster subculture. The frequency, 88.9 FM, is also the frequency of KXLU, a Los Angeles radio station that broadcasts from Loyola Marymount College and plays independent music and demos from emerging artists.
Two unknown songs play in the background of Nate and Steven chatting. The first can be heard when Nate and Steve do their counter-blessings; and the second when they talk about what was invented in Los Santos. Sometimes, when announcing The Soft Pack - Answer to Yourself, Steven will say "We stole your drummer", referring to The Soft Pack drummer Brian Hill, who joined Wavves in 2013 after the former band broke up.
Favorite radio station of the Families and Ballas. Franklin Clinton's favorite radio station, it also plays by default in his two vehicles along with The Lab, which is sometimes included in the extended version of the game. The same radio (Radio Los Santos) also plays in both of his houses. One of Lamar Davis' favorite radio stations, the other is West Coast Classics, which plays gangsta rap from the 1980s and 1990s, the genre was targeted by Radio Los Santos in GTA San Andreas. This radio also plays Hayes Autos. Jay Rock Feat. Kendrick Lamar - Hood Gone Love It plays in the Franklin trailer. This track is also played in the limousine when Michael and Jimmy drive to the Meltdown movie premiere on the mission of the same name. There is a glitch when the song Marion Bands Feat. Nipsey Hussle - Hold Up may play on Los Santos Rock Radio (tested on PS3 and PS4). In the Xbox 360, Xbox One, and PC versions of the game, Kendrick Lamar's A.D.H.D. the word "PlayStation", present in the text, is intentionally distorted. In the enhanced version of the game (Xbox One/PS4/PC), in the Franklin And Lamar mission, when landing in 9F or Rapid GT, the radio is automatically tuned to Radio Los Santos with the song Danny Brown & Action Bronson - Bad News. Ab Soul Feat. Schoolboy Q - Hunnid Stax plays in the final part of the Humane Labs Raid in GTA Online.
During the Franklin And Lamar mission, when boarding a 9F or Rapid GT, the radio will always tune in to West Coast Classics with N.W.A's Appetite For Destruction (PS3 and Xbox 360 only). Dr. Dre Feat. Snoop Dogg - Still D.R.E plays the Chop mission after Franklin puts Dee in the back of the van and gets behind the wheel. This song also plays in The Long Stretch mission (when the player escapes the police). In the mission Lamar Down, when Franklin gets into the vehicle after freeing Lamar, the radio tunes in to West Coast Classics with Ice Cube - You Know How We Do It. In the GTA Online intro, when Lamar is driving the player to their first race, Kausion Feat is playing in the background. Ice Cube
It is noteworthy that these tracks were also intended for other radio stations: Rainbow Arabia - Blind and Ultraista - Smalltalk [Four Tet Remix] for Radio Mirror Park. And Weldon Irvine - We Gettin' Down for The LowDown 91.1
What I don't get is, is Sam Houser so busy developing GTA VI that he can't even tweet (tweet)? Seriously? And Zelnik - I don’t even know what to say about this bureaucrat (this is putting it mildly) ...
Although this radio station plays Mexican music, not all performers are Mexican. So, La Sonora Dinamita is Colombian, La Vida Boheme is Venezuelan, and Los Angeles Negros is Chilean.
My opinion - such a remaster is not needed. First of all, due to the fact that GTA IV is atmospheric and at the same time somewhat gloomy. The remaster will kill all the elements of the original Quartet. Pray there is no remaster!
