For as long as the franchise has been around one of the coolest things about Grand Theft Auto has been the in-game radio stations that the player can pick from while driving a car. As the game has progressed so has that feature all the way up to its current iteration.

In GTA IV players can listen to ‘The Beat’ while they go on their record breaking crime spree. The show features songs by super producer DJ Green Lantern who is the mastermind behind the new album based on the game called Liberty City Invasion. Green Lantern has produced eight more original songs to go along with the songs directly from the game.

All 16 songs are brand spanking new and will feature a host of high caliber Hip Hop guests stars like Busta Rhymes, Wyclef, Fat Joe, Styles P and Fabolous as well as up-and-coming artists Mavado, Uncle Murder and Future Green Entertainment’s own Johnny Polygon, Qadir and more. The first single off the album is “Where’s My Money” featuring Busta Rhymes.

The folks over at Rockstar are pretty pleased with The Evil Genius’ work thus far, “The Grand Theft Auto games have always featured stunning soundtracks and the amount of eclectic music in Grand Theft Auto IV goes above and beyond anything we have been able to do before” said Sam Houser, Founder and Executive Producer of Rockstar Games, "DJ Green Lantern’s contributions give the soundtrack a true New York flavor and we’re excited to be releasing his full album to fans.”

The man himself also had this to say, “From making mixtapes, to being on the radio, to touring with the biggest artists on the planet, and then for the biggest video game title to solicit me to create exclusive music is something most people could only dream about, it’s like a graduation,” said Green. “Rockstar Games understood what I bring to the table as far as not just presenting music, but creating music.”

The album will be available digitally on May 20th with a physical release coming soon.
