Long-time GTA fans may have felt there was something strangely familiar about their new mansions, even if they couldn’t quite put their finger on it. Players logging into Grand Theft Auto Online this week are in for a surprise when they discover who's behind the voice of their new AI assistant. The latest update, A Safehouse in the Hills, introduces an AI concierge system voiced by none other than California hip-hop artist Big Tray Deee.
The rapper, whose real name is Tracy Lamar Davis, is best remembered for his memorable appearance in the 2001 comedy film "The Wash" that brought together some of the biggest names in hip-hop culture. That movie featured an all-star cast including Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, DJ Pooh, and Shawn Fonteno, the voice actor and model likeness for Grand Theft Auto V protagonist Franklin Clinton.
The connection between Davis and the gaming world deeper than the average player might know. DJ Pooh, who worked with Davis on their 2001 film project, was instrumental in bringing the rapper to Rockstar Games for this voice acting opportunity. The rapper himself confirmed this on Instagram shortly following the release of the latest Grand Theft Auto content update.
