Bad Bunny and Diplo are credited on a song called "Welcome to Vice City": the missing track from GTA VI: The Album?
A GTAForums user found a work titled "WELCOME TO VICE CITY" in The MLC's public registry, with ten writers including Bad Bunny and Diplo. Here's what the entry says, what it doesn't, and why everything points to the GTA VI album, even though Rockstar hasn't confirmed it.
Status: Rumor. The MLC entry exists and we've checked it, but it doesn't mention GTA VI, Rockstar or Atlantic Records. The link to the game rests on the title. Rockstar hasn't published the album's full tracklist.
We already know Bad Bunny will be all over Leonida: he's El Martillo, one of the hosts of Cocoteo FM. Now he may be on the record too. GTAForums user "3424" found a work titled "WELCOME TO VICE CITY" in the public registry of The MLC, the body that handles mechanical rights for songs in the United States, with Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, aka Bad Bunny, listed as a writer. Thomas "Diplo" Wesley Pentz is credited too. Complex has already picked it up on Instagram, also as a rumor.
What the entry says
We opened the MLC entry and this is what it shows:
- Title: "WELCOME TO VICE CITY", no alternative titles.
- Ten writers, all as composer/author: Bad Bunny, Diplo, Roberto José Rosado Torres, Roberto Rosado, Marco Daniel Borrero, Maximilian Hans Jaeger, Jorge Antonio Alfonso Jr., Jorge Arteaga and Raquel Maya de Attias, who appears twice with her surname spelled two ways.
- Registered shares: only 8.75%, through Jaeger's publisher. The other writers' shares haven't been filed yet.
- No ISWC, no duration, no language and no matched recordings. In other words, there's no released version linked to the work yet.
On the forum, other users point out that several of those names regularly work with Bad Bunny. Raquel Attias, for her part, wrote salsa classics such as Ray Barretto's "El Chisme", which suggests the song could include a sample or interpolation of an older track. Which one isn't known.
Why it points to GTA VI
- The title. "Welcome to Vice City" is practically the game's slogan: it's what the sign Miami put on the roof of the Kaseya Center says.
- The timing. The work shows up with no recordings nine days before November 19, when both the game and GTA VI: The Album come out.
- The album's gaps. The Album has 34 original tracks and only a handful are known: the six September 17 singles (Travis Scott, Yung Lean with Future and Metro Boomin, Morgan Wallen, Rauw Alejandro, Keith Richards, and the CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso track with PinkPantheress, Fred again.. and Etienne de Crécy) plus the Cardi B and Fuerza Regida songs that arrived in October.
- The pairing. Bad Bunny and Diplo have worked together before, on "200 MPH".
- The precedent. GTA V's main theme, the one that plays as the city is introduced, is called "Welcome to Los Santos", by Oh No. Repeating the formula with Vice City would make perfect sense.
What isn't clear
- That it's on the album. Nothing in the entry says so. "Vice City" is also a Miami nickname outside the game, so another project can't be ruled out.
- That it plays on the in-game radio. Even if it's on the album, Rockstar has made clear the record and the stations are separate things.
- When it was registered. The MLC doesn't show the filing date. The MLC itself warns that its data is entered by members and isn't an authoritative source.

The Leonida Read
If you ask us, it's hard to think of anything else. A song named after the game's sign, written by the host of Cocoteo FM and registered with no recording nine days before launch fits a little too well with an album that still has more than twenty tracks to reveal. But what we have is a rights registration, not an announcement, and that's why it's filed as a rumor.
What we do know is that Bad Bunny's footprint in GTA VI was already big before this. He hosts Cocoteo FM with RaiNao, and "EoO" plays on that station, as we reported when Rockstar revealed the first stations. A track of his own on the album would make him one of the game's musical faces, alongside Travis Scott, who also headlines The Festival in Miami on November 21.
What to watch: whether the entry gets a matched recording in the coming days, whether Rockstar or Atlantic drop more singles before the 19th and, above all, the full tracklist on launch day.
Our take: it's the strongest clue yet about the album's missing tracks, and in nine days we'll know if we called it.
Certainty level: Rumor.
