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

Description

Based in a modernist cylindrical tower located in Market, Los Santos, Blastin' Fools Records was founded by Jimmy Silverman, who serves as the producer and manager of the company as of events in GTA San Andreas circa 1992. Blastin' Fools Records is a play on Capitol Records; the building itself is a partial recreation of the Capitol Records Building in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

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 learns of OG Loc's lack of talent and threatens to sue OG Loc; OG Loc may have been dropped from the label as a result.

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

• GMW
• Rochell'le
• Gaffle One
