Bad Bunny, Lana Del Rey (and Her Husband), Morgan Wallen, Robyn & Burna Boy to Host ‘Grand Theft Auto VI’ In-Game Radio Stations

The six in-game stations include Back Country Radio, Cocoteo FM, AfroBank FM, Dirty South Classics, The Chamber 106.6 and Flash FM.

Rockstar Games’ anticipated Grand Theft Auto VI is about a month away (Nov. 19) from dropping, but on Thursday (Oct. 8) it revealed the hosts for the six virtual in-game radio stations fans will be able to dial into while playing.

Leading the pack is Cocoteo FM, a Latin music station hosted by Bad Bunny and fellow Puerto Rican singer RaiNao, who will take to the air under the names El Martillo and La Gata. Over on Back Country Radio, Lana Del Rey and Morgan Wallen will spin classic country and outlaw country tunes as MW and Delta Dawne, with help from “roving reporter” Mud Dog Mike (aka Del Rey’s husband Jeremy Dufrene) giving all the pertinent updates from the game’s Florida-like state, Leonida.
