History

Background

Madd Dogg is a hip-hop artist based in Los Santos, San Andreas. His CDs and posters can be seen in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto V.

Around the year 2013, he released his long awaited sixth album, titled Tha Maddhouse.

In Grand Theft Auto V, Franklin Clinton has a Madd Dogg poster (in the style of Shepard Fairey's famous "Hope" poster of Barack Obama) hanging next to the wardrobe at his aunt's house. The poster is later seen framed on the wall of his Vinewood Hills home, alongside a concert poster and concert ticket stubs indicating he has performed live at the Vinewood Bowl on Tha Maddhouse tour.

Jimmy De Santa has CDs of Madd Dogg and OG Loc in his room underneath the TV in the enhanced versions.

Madd Dogg is one of the honoured celebrities on the Vinewood Walk of Fame.

Events of Grand Theft Auto Online

In Grand Theft Auto Online, on the arcade jukebox, the album jacket of Tha Maddhouse can be seen.

Trivia

• Reused assets of Grand Theft Auto V, including Madd Dogg's present-day album Tha Maddhouse, make an anachronistic and non-canon appearance in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City - The Definitive Edition. This is one of the many major canon violations by Grove Street Games for these outsourced remasters.
• Different variants of Madd Dogg and Lazlow Jones have interacted with a protagonist from their respective universe (Carl Johnson in the 3D Universe and Franklin Clinton in the HD Universe, the latter offscreen).
