-Hosted by [[MC Codebreaker]], '''MSX FM''' is a radio station in which Drum and Bass music is played. It is heard in most [[Southside Hoods|Southside Hoods]] [[Hoods Rumpo XL|gang cars]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]]. The music is very fast and the lyrics are often hard to understand. Compared to [[Lips 106]] and [[Head Radio]] (which are pop stations), this music is considered to be "hardcore".
-In [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]] MSX FM returns with all tracks once again taken from British Drum and Bass pioneers Moving Shadow records, but this time as '''MSX 98'''. It is still hosted by MC Codebreaker. There are many references to the artists under the Moving Shadow record label by the host. MSX 98 is usually played when the player steals a [[PCJ-600]] or a [[Yakuza]] [[Yakuza Stinger|gang car]].
+'''MSX FM''' is a [[wp:Drum and bass|drum and bass]] radio station in [[Grand Theft Auto III]], hosted by [[MC Codebreaker]]. The station is also known as '''MSX 98''' in [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]].
+== Description ==
+=== GTA III ===
+Having a playlist that consists solely of drum and bass music, the station's musical beat is often fast paced and energetic, and characteristically features MC Codebreaker frequently including his own vocals into the music tracks itself, although his thick Afro-British accent makes his dialog hard to understand. Much like [[Rise FM]] in GTA III, the station uses transitions to bridge musical tracks, and as a result does not play advertising. The station's design references various real-life drum and base-related subjects; the station's suffix is 101.1 - a reference to Timecode's album, while MSX stands for "[[wp:Moving Shadow|Moving Shadow]]".
+Compared to [[Lips 106]] and [[Head Radio]] (which are pop stations), this music is considered to be "hardcore", and is tuned in by default when the player carjacks most [[Southside Hoods|Southside Hoods]] [[Hoods Rumpo XL|gang cars]].
+===GTA Liberty City Stories===
+In GTA Liberty City Stories, MSX FM is known as "MSX 98", presumably referencing [[1998]], the year in which the game takes place. Still hosted by MC Codebreaker, the host often references artists under the Moving Shadow record label. MSX 98 is usually played when the player steals a [[PCJ-600]] or a [[Yakuza]] [[Yakuza Stinger|gang car]].
