Dirty South Classics: GTA 6's Rap Station, Hosts and Songs Explained

The hosts

Trick Daddy came out of Liberty City and put Slip-N-Slide Records on the map in the late '90s, before crossing over with hits like "I'm a Thug" and "Take It to da House." Trina, also from Miami, broke out as his duet partner in 1998 and became one of the defining women in Southern rap. Having them host a Vice City station is about as on-the-nose as it gets, in a good way.

Track by track

David Banner ft. Lil' Flip – "Like a Pimp" (2003)

Banner produced this himself for Mississippi: The Album. The beat is all bass and sirens, and Houston's Lil' Flip brings the Texas side. It's a defining record of the 2003 crunk-era South. Play

JT Money ft. Solé – "Who Dat" (1999)

JT Money came up in Miami's Poison Clan before going solo. "Who Dat" was his breakout hit, a Miami bass-rooted record that crossed over nationally at the end of the '90s. Play

DJ Khaled ft. Trick Daddy, Rick Ross & Pitbull – "Born N Raised" (2006)

From Khaled's debut Listennn... the Album, this is a Miami roll call. You get the old guard in Trick Daddy, the new boss in Rick Ross, and Pitbull before the pop run. If one song explains why this station exists, it's this one. Play
