Dr. Dre

Background

The real-life rapper and producer Andre Young appears as himself, voicing his own character. In the game world, he owns Record A Studios in Los Santos. His circle includes DJ Pooh, Jimmy Iovine and engineer Lola Romero, and he later becomes a client of Franklin Clinton's agency.

Role in GTA Online

• The Cayo Perico Heist (2020): In the opening cutscene of *Heist Prep: Gather Intel*, Dre, DJ Pooh and Jimmy Iovine pull up to the airport hangar to fly to Juan Strickler's party. They cancel when they learn Iovine's house was robbed and Dre's phone, full of unreleased music, was taken. Scott Storch goes in their place.
• The Contract (2021): Dre hires F. Clinton and Partner after the player and Franklin chase off two golfers at the Los Santos Golf Club who tried to have him thrown out. Imani finds that three people are demoing tracks from the phone, linked to the Vagos, the Triads and a crypto billionaire, and the player recovers each one. The original phone is traced to Johnny Guns of WesLos Records, a rival since the 1990s.
• In *Don't Fuck With Dre*, the player first defends Record A Studios from Johnny's gunmen. They then chase Johnny to Los Santos International Airport and bring him to Dre, who beats him with a 9-iron. On the drive to the Pacific Bluffs Country Club, Dre decides to release all his demos publicly.

Trivia

• After his contract, he occasionally invites the player to the studio to watch sessions with Lola Romero.
• His vehicles include an Itali GTB Custom, a Champion and a Galaxy Super Yacht.
