As the fever pitch anticipation for the next installment of the Grand Theft Auto series continues to heighten, music aficionados and gaming enthusiasts alike may have a reason to rejoice. There appears to be a tantalizing hint from rapper ScHoolboy Q about his potential contribution to the much-anticipated Grand Theft Auto 6.
A Peek into the Speculation
In a recent interaction on social media platform X/Twitter, the acclaimed rapper responded to a fan's hope for his music to feature in the upcoming game. Without explicitly confirming his involvement, ScHoolboy Q's cryptic reply has set off a flurry of speculation among fans and industry watchers alike.
"Ima be on tHere don’t even trip," ScHoolboy Q said in a quote-tweet yesterday.
This isn't the first time the rapper has been associated with the Grand Theft Auto series. ScHoolboy Q's tracks had previously graced the radio stations of both Grand Theft Auto 5 and GTA Online, raising the stakes for his potential involvement in the sixth installment.
A Tradition of Star-Studded Soundtracks
The Grand Theft Auto series has a long-standing tradition of featuring eclectic soundtracks that add a unique flavor to the gaming experience. The radio stations in the game have been a crucial part of its world-building since the series’ inception in 1997, with celebs like Cara Delevingne and Axl Rose lending their voices as hosts.
Given this legacy, the inclusion of ScHoolboy Q's music in GTA 6 seems a fitting continuation of this trend.
Other Possible Collaborations

These revelations, albeit unofficial, offer a sneak peek into the star-studded soundtrack that might be a part of the much-awaited game.
