New Music Coming to GTAV: The Alchemist and Oh No Present Welcome to Los Santos
Brand new radio station and soundtrack album release are on the way from GTAV score composers The Alchemist & Oh No.
Today, we're proud to announce The Alchemist and Oh No Present: Welcome to Los Santos, a genre-spanning collection of new music for Grand Theft Auto V, debuting with the PC version of GTAV on April 14th plus a full standalone album release to follow on April 21st from Mass Appeal Records.
Welcome to Los Santos features fresh tracks inspired by GTAV's original score, composed by The Alchemist and Oh No in partnership with Woody Jackson and Tangerine Dream to create a uniquely ambitious album. The Alchemist and Oh No weave together a musical journey that covers every corner of the fictional world of Grand Theft Auto V and features guests from across the musical spectrum – including Earl Sweatshirt, Little Dragon, Phantogram, Freddie Gibbs, Popcaan, Killer Mike, Tunde Adebimpe and Samuel T. Herring (from Future Islands).
The music from Welcome to Los Santos will debut in GTAV for PC with a new The Alchemist and Oh No-hosted radio station ‘The Lab’ being added to the Los Santos radio dial. Stay tuned for more updates on GTAV music in the future. The album tracks will also be made available in the Rockstar Editor for PC as soundtracks for your original custom videos. The full standalone album, set for release on April 21st, will be available for digital download and at retail in both CD and vinyl releases from Mass Appeal Records.

- on July 8 2015, 10:16amCan we please get some Eminem already????
- on May 11 2015, 4:29pmSeriously can't believe this is only on pc if it wasn't on last gen you would have thought they would have brang it to Xbox one or ps4 I bought this game twice at release
- on April 16 2015, 7:42amSpotify support would be fkin awesome guys, love the game!
- on April 5 2015, 3:25amWould be nice for them to bring back a station like Liberty City Hardcore that plays some metal....
- on April 20 2015, 6:25pm@Rowdymeister666 Hell yea!! The harder the better !!
none of that bubble gum music like don johnson, really???? - on July 2 2015, 8:15pm@Rowdymeister666 Liberty City Hardcore doesn't play metal...they play New York Hardcore. It's Channel X in GTAV
- on July 12 2015, 11:13pm@Volcomonster Chennel X blows, it plays all lo key metal groups. I want a rock station that plays some Metalica, some Godsmack, some Alice in Chains, Avenged Sevenfold, DISTURBED!!!! C'mon Rockstar MAKE IT HAPPEN!
- on April 2 2015, 9:51pmYeah it would be great for the new tracks to come to old gen consoles but regarding the choice of music choose something different like club music or something along the lines of classic techno, trance or hardstyle because none of the radiostations play them at all
But what ever you do don't put dub step in gta :) - on April 1 2015, 6:50pmi would love more rock and dubstep but its great so how about new weapon like a crossbow or just a bow would be cool
- on March 29 2015, 9:26pmI'm stunned by how amazing this looks!
- on April 2 2015, 5:28pm@TheDeadpoolGamer Me to!!
- on March 29 2015, 3:42pmWould love some metal and hard rock tunes. I would happily get rid of that stupid "We built this city" song in exchange for something by Iron Maiden, Metallica, or Megadeth.
But I am happy they included The Highwaymen on the country station, that is an awesome song. - on March 28 2015, 4:23pmI feel that 360 and PS3 are getting left out of all the cool stuff. Now Next Gen is here old Gen have been kicked to the side of the RockStar offic and thrown a crust of bread every now and again."crust of bread" being a small update.non of the new cars,music and moving steering wheels.Okay we had hiests but it still feels like we are getting left out on old gen. AND WHAT THE BLOODY HELL IS WRONG WITH THE BACK OF THE HYDRA!?!?! Harrier jump jets would not work as efficenly as they dit if they were like that.
- on March 28 2015, 4:25pm@AIRWOLF_1 Rockstar please fix the back of the Hydra to be an actual Harrier Jump Jet.
- on April 11 2015, 9:24pm@AIRWOLF_1 Because they are most likely the bigger market
- on March 27 2015, 10:22amHey Rs What About Fix Those Side Mirrors So We Can See Behind When In First Person....Only Fault i Found In First Person While Driving.
- on March 27 2015, 12:32amI have an idea for gta 5 online. can you put something like dogs you can adopted for a pet to keep you safe and if the dog dies you go to your phone and call dog care to get him back but spawes in your apartment and you can name him and have alot of dog breeds to.
- on March 26 2015, 1:04pmU guys need to put some tech n9ne on here and some underground rap on here
- on March 26 2015, 6:50pm@NerdieNerdie But the music already is great
- on March 29 2015, 9:13pm@NerdieNerdie Hi mate cheers for joining NERD just see your comment could not agree more. Would love NERDs rockstar or something along them lines love hard rock rap.
- on March 25 2015, 5:11pmQuite tired of not having metal on there or hardcore rock
- on March 24 2015, 10:47pmSo I take it the hew radio station are only for pc and the new Gen console? cause I still play on the last Gen and I haven't seen any new tunes.
- on March 24 2015, 7:39amIt would be nice to listen to your own playlist
- on March 23 2015, 11:41pmit would be nice to have some real stations like in your real life car, 989 the rock maybe some r and b or some alternative , play some real music like manson or kid rock or some theory of a deadman korn, disturbed, all the good stuff and if i am a soclal club member how come i can only accept one crew invite i had like 4 and i had to deny all of them :(
