Our take
The inclusion of Trick Daddy and Trina in GTA VI validates Miami's hip-hop legacy by placing local icons in a global cultural product. Their return to the microphone, following the end of their 2020 morning show, signals a significant crossover between regional radio culture and mainstream gaming media.
Background
Trick Daddy and Trina are Miami rap icons whose 1998 collaboration 'Nann' helped launch Trina's career and cement Trick Daddy's place in the local hip-hop scene. Both artists were associated with Slip-N-Slide Records, a label founded in 1994 by Ted Lucas that helped define Miami's sound.
The duo previously hosted 'The Trick & Trina Morning Show' on Miami's 99 Jamz, which debuted in January 2020 and ended in 2021. Grand Theft Auto VI, scheduled for release on November 19, 2026, returns players to Vice City, a fictional world inspired by Miami, and features a diverse lineup of radio stations including Latin, metal, and country formats.

Our read of the evidence
Partly documented. The announcements about the hosts, interactive audio previews, and playlist curation are each cited only in news reports from miaminewtimes.com, hoodline.com, and cbsnews.com, with no primary source such as Rockstar or the artists directly confirming them. Consequently, the details remain based on secondary coverage, while the game’s release date and any additional radio stations or soundtrack information are still pending.
Our rating counts evidence, not opinions about anyone: events confirmed by a primary source (the person's own post, their official site, a court or government record) weigh most, then how many independent outlets report the story.
What happens next
November 19, 2026: Grand Theft Auto VI is scheduled for release on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, according to miaminewtimes.com.
Additional radio stations and soundtrack details are yet to be announced, according to miaminewtimes.com.
