DJ Green Lantern puts out GTA IV album News

Rockstar and musician/producer DJ Green Lantern have announced a downloadable album of songs from and inspired by GTA IV.

The collection is called Liberty City Invasion: Music From and Inspired by Grand Theft Auto IV, and will be available from digital download outfits like Amazon.com tomorrow, 20th May, "with a physical release coming soon".

Green Lantern's connection to GTA IV will be obvious to those with a keen ear - he was The Evil Genius, DJ on in-game radio station The Beat - and his compilation includes eight songs you can hear in-game, including Busta Rhymes' "Where's My Money", along with eight other songs covering the hip-hop, reggae and R&B genres.

Lantern said, "for the biggest video game title to solicit me to create exclusive music is something most people could only dream about, it's like a graduation", adding that Rockstar "understood what I bring to the table as far as not just presenting music, but creating music".

The full track listing, courtesy of Amazon.com (where they're asking for USD 8.99), is:

1. Intro
2. Styles P - "What's the Problem"
3. Busta Rhymes - "Where's My Money"
4. Wyclef, Uncle Murda & Mavado - "Informer"
5. Joell Ortiz & Dante Hawkins - "Alone"
6. Jim Jones & Juelz Santana - "Bustin' Shots"
7. Maino - "Get Away Driver"
8. Uncle Murda - "Anybody Can Get It"
9. Fabolous & Fat Joe - "I'm So Fly"
10. Qadir - "Nickname"
11. Clipse feat. Re-Up Gang - "9mm"
12. 38 Special, Fever & Dwayne - "Streets Raised Me"
13. Heltah Skeltah feat. Buckshot - "Can't Trust Em"
14. Red Cafe - "Stick'm"
15. Immortal Technique - "Parole"
16. Tru Life - "Wet Em Up"

All of which is not to be confused with the soundtrack CD that ships with the GTA IV Special Edition on 360 and PS3, although there is a bit of crossover.
