Blastin' Fools Records, also known simply as Blastin' Fools, is record label and store featured in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.

Description

Artists

Blastin' Fools Records is most prominently associated with two major characters in GTA San Andreas. Since the beginning of the game's storyline, Madd Dogg has long signed to the label, but was close to spiraling into oblivion as a result of several setbacks instigated by OG Loc and his subsequent depression; OG Loc took advantage of the void left over by Madd Dogg and signed in on the label himself.

After being saved from suicide by Carl Johnson and rehabilitated, Madd Dogg eventually pursues OG Loc upon learning OG Loc was responsible for Madd Dogg's downfall. After a lengthy chase that leads to Blastin' Fools Records, Silverman threatens to sue OG Loc, and may had drop him from the label as a result.

Other artists signed on to Blastin' Fools Records circa 1992 include:

Albums

As indicated from Forgotten Legends of West Coast Rap, the label has released a series of albums over the course of the early 1990s, well into 1994, two years after events in GTA San Andreas. It is unknown if Blastin' Fools Records has release albums before or after the early 1990s.
