KINGSTON, JAMAICA – In the latest installment of one of the world’s most popular video games there is a special treat for contemporary reggae music lovers. Protoje’s hit single Kingston Be Wise is among the roster of Reggae and Dancehall hits on the GTA V playlist. The game was officially released on September 17, and is forecasted to sell 25 million copies in the first year.
The game, like a world onto itself, depicts a major city where players can explore and carry out missions. Often they will have opportunities to drive vehicles around town and are able to choose from a variety of radio stations to listen to music as they travel. ‘Kingston Be Wise’ is featured on Blue Ark FM as one of a select few songs from the past two years. Most of the reggae station’s playlist includes tracks released before the turn of the 21st century.
