Trivia
- The Beat 102.7 is strangely called "Beat 95" in the game files.
- This station plays in Playboy X's Penthouse.
- One of the promotional intros for the station says that rappers gain credibility after they're shot outside the Beat 102.7 building. This is a reference to two conflicts at Hot 97, one between 50 Cent and The Game and the other between Lil' Kim and Noreaga.
- It's favourite radio station of Armando Torres and Brucie Kibbutz.
