With excitement building around the next installment in the franchise, Keisha Nicole took the opportunity to revisit Yo-Yo’s contribution to the beloved 2004 game.

The Hip-Hop pioneer provided the voice of Kendl Johnson, the younger sister of the game’s main character, Carl “CJ” Johnson.

During the interview, Yo-Yo revealed that fans still recognize her voice from “San Andreas” more than two decades after its release. She recalled people approaching her to discuss the game after realizing she was the voice behind Kendl. The character played an important role in the game’s storyline, particularly through her relationship with Cesar Vialpando and the tension it created with her older brother Sweet. For longtime fans, Yo-Yo’s involvement remains another example of the strong connection between Hip-Hop culture and the “Grand Theft Auto” franchise.

The conversation comes as anticipation reaches a fever pitch for “Grand Theft Auto VI,” scheduled to arrive November 19, 2026, on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. After more than a decade since the release of “GTA V,” Rockstar Games is taking players back to Vice City, this time following protagonists Jason and Lucia through the fictional state of Leonida. With new characters, a sprawling open world, and massive expectations surrounding its release, “GTA 6” is shaping up to be one of the biggest entertainment launches of the year. As fans prepare to explore the next chapter, Yo-Yo’s memories of “San Andreas” serve as a reminder of the franchise’s lasting influence on gaming and Hip-Hop culture.
