OG Loc

Background

Jeffrey "OG Loc" Cross is a Grove Street Families member and wannabe gangsta rapper. He talks constantly about his street credibility but has little actual talent, and he is jealous of the successful rapper Madd Dogg.

Events of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas

CJ, Smoke, Ryder and Sweet pick Loc up when he is released from prison in the mission OG Loc. Loc immediately leads them to Freddy, a Vagos member who abused him in prison, and CJ and Loc chase him down on a motorbike. Loc then takes a job at Burger Shot as part of his parole. Loc then gives his own run of missions: Life's a Beach, where CJ steals music equipment from a beach party; Madd Dogg's Rhymes, where CJ breaks into Madd Dogg's mansion and steals his rhyme book; Management Issues, where CJ kills Madd Dogg's manager; and House Party, where Loc's party is attacked by the Ballas.

Using Madd Dogg's stolen lyrics, Loc becomes a star. In Cut Throat Business, after Madd Dogg's recovery, CJ and Madd Dogg crash Loc's video shoot and chase him across Los Santos. They catch him at the Blastin' Fools Records building, where the label signs Madd Dogg instead and Loc's career collapses.

Loc's missions are the darkest favours CJ does for a friend. To launch Loc's career, CJ steals a sound system from a beach party, breaks into Madd Dogg's mansion and murders the rapper's manager. In House Party, Loc quits his Burger Shot job, violating his parole, and throws a party on Grove Street that ends in a Ballas attack. While CJ is away, Loc's career takes off with Madd Dogg's stolen lyrics, but once Madd Dogg recovers, the truth comes out. After Cut Throat Business, Silverman sends Loc to fetch lunch for everyone, a sign of how far he has fallen.

Personality

Loc is boastful, insecure and lazy, but he can be loyal to Grove Street and is often more comic than dangerous.

His lyrics are clumsy and his rapping is bad enough that CJ jokes the party only started when Loc stopped rapping. He also craves recognition so badly that he is willing to have a rival's manager killed. Yet the Grove Street crew treat him with a mix of affection and mockery rather than real hostility.

Relationships

He is friends with CJ and the Grove Street crew, and he is Madd Dogg's main rival.
