Skrilla Claims Viral Hit ‘Doot Doot (6 7)’ Is in GTA 6: ‘I’m Going to Be My Own Person on There, Playing My Own Music’
Rapper Skrilla says his breakout track “Doot Doot (6 7)” will feature in Grand Theft Auto 6, and he hints he’ll even show up in-game as himself. During a recent appearance on Matt and Shane’s Secret Podcast, Skrilla said that 6 7 is included and that he’ll be “my own person on there, playing my own music.” If true, it would mark one of the most prominent placements yet for a song that’s already a global meme.
From slang to soundtrack: how 6 7 took over feeds
“Doot Doot (6 7)” erupted on TikTok and Instagram earlier this year, spreading beyond its street-slang origins to become a shorthand punchline across sports and pop culture. The phrase’s viral reach exploded through clips tied to basketball players listed at 6-foot-7 and a cheeky trend sparked by the so-called “67 Kid,” turning the hook into a playground catchphrase worldwide.
“I’ll be my own person on there”
Skrilla’s podcast comments suggest more than a simple licensing deal. Beyond saying the song is in GTA 6, he teased the idea of appearing as himself in the game, effectively curating his own music from within Rockstar’s world. It’s an intriguing wrinkle for a series that has long mixed fictional radio hosts with celebrity cameos and tastemaker-driven playlists.
Rockstar stays quiet, but GTA’s radios shape culture
Rockstar hasn’t revealed a soundtrack or radio lineup for GTA 6, and it typically keeps that news under wraps until late in the promotional cycle. Still, the franchise’s stations are legendary for breaking artists to new audiences and recontextualizing classics for a new generation. If 6 7 really makes the cut, it’s less about exposure and more about cementing a viral anthem inside gaming’s biggest stage.
Other music chatter around GTA 6
- Travis Scott speculation: Fans have pored over recent music video imagery for hints and Easter eggs that nod toward GTA 6. Nothing has been confirmed, but the rumor mill has floated everything from a curated station to a cameo.
- T-Pain’s involvement: The singer-producer has said he’s contributing to GTA 6. He also indicated that, while collaborating with Rockstar, he paused his role-play activity on the popular NoPixel server, suggesting the studio wanted a cleaner separation between community RP and official work.
- Licensing pushback: One act unlikely to appear is British synth-pop outfit Heaven 17. A founding member claimed that a low offer—reportedly $7,500 per writer—for their 80s hit “Temptation” was rebuffed, publicly telling the suitor to get lost. It’s a reminder that GTA’s music negotiations can be as complex as its open worlds.
Where development stands
Rockstar previously indicated that GTA 6 has been in full development for several years, ramping up after Red Dead Redemption 2. The company has targeted 2025 for launch, though timelines in the industry are always subject to change. Notably, longtime Grand Theft Auto writer and co-founder Dan Houser isn’t involved in this entry. Even so, he has expressed confidence that the studio’s next story will deliver, despite not being one he personally penned.
With anticipation already off the charts, the next wave of official details—whether they’re about characters, radio stations, or the in-world social feeds—will only add fuel. GTA soundtracks have a way of defining the tone of the whole experience; a track as omnipresent as 6 7 would arrive with its own cultural gravity.
Price, platforms, and power
As the industry debates a premium $100 launch price for blockbuster games, many observers still expect GTA 6 to land at the now-standard $70 tier, which research suggests tends to maximize overall revenue. On the tech side, analysts anticipate Rockstar will squeeze every drop out of current-gen hardware, with enhanced modes likely on upgraded consoles. The series’ history suggests a focus on dense crowds, advanced physics, and reactive systems—all of which are showcase material for a new soundtrack to cut through.
The bottom line
If Skrilla’s claim holds, “Doot Doot (6 7)” will jump from social media soundtrack to a permanent fixture of GTA’s airwaves—and possibly from your For You page to a character you’ll meet in-game. Rockstar hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but the idea fits the franchise’s long tradition of blending zeitgeist-defining music with its sprawling, satirical worlds. When GTA 6 finally arrives, expect the conversation to be as much about what you’re hearing as what you’re doing.
