The GTA Online update is also one of the biggest collaborations between the music and video game industries in recent memory—Fortnite’s concert series being the other prime example. No rapper has had such a prominent role in a game’s narrative content since 50 Cent had his own co-op third-person shooter series almost a decade and a half ago.

The Contract follows Franklin’s attempts to find a handful of unreleased Dr. Dre tracks that have gone missing as part of his celebrity “problem solving” enterprise. According to Rockstar, this content will span the entirety of Los Santos, including massive mansions, exclusive parties, and the local FIB branch, as players attempt to recover a cell phone containing the precious, unreleased tracks.

For those of you who are excited to return to Los Santos or just to hear new music from Dr. Dre, you won’t have to wait too long. The Contract releases next week on December 15.
