Dr. Dre and Anderson. Paak is both set to appear as characters in the coming GTA V Online expansion pack.
The DLC is titled GTA Online: The Contract, the expansion pack marks the return of GTA V character Franklin Clinton, where he now runs a “celebrity solutions agency”, providing “solutions to high-society problems.”
In the storyline, Dre’s character has lost his phone along with all the unreleased music stored on it, and, finding itself in the wrong hands, he seeks Clinton’s help to retrieve it.
“Lost in the shuffle on his way to Cayo Perico last year, it turns out Dr. Dre’s phone isn’t just missing — it’s in the wrong hands. Not only that, but the phone also contains the hottest property in the city: new, unreleased music from Dr. Dre himself. This could be the big break your agency needs,”
“Get ready for a wild and hilarious ride through Los Santos, from the mean streets of Franklin’s old neighborhood to the hottest parties in the city, from debaucherous mansions to the offices of the FIB and everywhere in between as you join Franklin, expert hacker Imani, Chop the Dog, and crew to secure Dr. Dre’s previous tracks and return them to their rightful owner.” reads the announcement on the Rockstar newswire.
Both Dre and Paak have also contributed to the soundtrack of the expansion pack, and you can hear a teaser of their music in the trailer.
Back in October, Snoop Dogg had teased that Dre was working on music for the next GTA game. “He’s making great fucking music. And some of his music is connected to the GTA game that’s coming out. So I think that will be the way that his music will be released, through the GTA video game,” said Snoop.
If the above-mentioned new music appears in GTA Online: The Contract, then it will mark Dre’s first music in six years, since the release of his 2015 album ‘Compton’.
