*This song is featured in the enhanced version, but was intended to be released in the original version

**The host mentions a collaborative song from Freddie Gibbs and Young Jeezy. Since there are only two collaborative songs from Freddie and Jeezy, either Young Jeezy feat. Freddie Gibbs - Rough or Young Jeezy feat. Freddie Gibbs - Do It for You was cut

Additionally, an introduction for a song by Mac Miller was found. Nothing else is known about it.

GTA Online[]

Found in the 2023 GTA V source code leak was a log output of all the files found in the RPF archive of an early GTA Online: The Contract build, with a list of songs that did not appear on either the final versions of Radio Los Santos, MOTOMAMI Los Santos, or West Coast Classics. Only the file names are known; it is not known which artists performed the song or to which station the songs belonged, but some approximation based on the song names alone is possible:

  • Chief Keef feat. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie – Glory Bridge (2017)
  • Chief Keef - It Ain't My Fault (2012)
  • Fenix Flexin feat. D-Block Europe – From the Block (2021)
  • Flipp Dinero – Leave Me Alone (2018)
  • Freddie Gibbs feat. Big Sean & Hit-Boy – 4 Thangs (2020)

Additionally, an unidentified song that was most likely part of Radio Los Santos was found:

Trivia[]

  • Radio Los Santos may be based on real-life Los Angeles radio stations KPWR 105.9 (Power 106) and 93.5 KDAY. The San Andreas version of Radio Los Santos may likely be based on the old KDAY, as Julio G was a former DJ on the station. Grand Theft Auto V's version is likely based on KPWR 105.9, as Big Boy was this station's host from 1997 to 2015, until he moved to the KRRL 92.3 (Real 92.3).
  • During Eazy-E's song "Eazy-er Said Than Dunn", Julio mentions Compton instead of it's in-game fictional counterpart, Ganton.
  • Ice Cube's "Check Yo Self" is played in it's edited form, which is strange because every other song on the radio appears in explicit/original version, including other singles that had radio versions in real-life (such as Ice Cube's "It Was A Good Day" and Dr. Dre's "Fuck Wit Dre Day").
    • It is possible that in the beta version of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas N.W.A's "Alwayz Into Somethin'" was also played in it's edited form, as the radio edit of this song can be heard playing during the city ambience sound on the GTA: San Andreas' official website.
  • Jay Rock's "Hood Gone Love It" is used in Franklin's trailer.
  • GTA V's version of the station noticeably doesn't exclusively feature West Coast rappers, as it also features some notable rappers from the Deep South (Gucci Mane, Future, etc.), the Midwest (Freddie Gibbs) and East Coast (A$AP Rocky).
  • It is likely that the station was founded around 1988. This is because of the GTA V is set in 2013, and the website's quote stating that it has been "blazin' hip hop for 25 years".
  • This is Franklin Clinton's favorite radio station.
  • Radio Los Santos is one of the only three radio stations ever to cross universes, the other being WCTR and Head Radio, although Head Radio crossed universes three times as opposed to WCTR and RLS which ones crossed universes twice.
  • In GTA V, the host mentions that there was recently a new $100 bill being made. This is a reference to how in real-life, the United States government was in the process of designing a new version for the $100 bill.
  • When the track "A.D.H.D" by Kendrick Lamar comes on, the line "PlayStation and some drink, technology bought my soul" has the word "PlayStation" censored. Whether this was due to copyright reasons, or simply due to Microsoft competing against Sony is unknown.
