It’s always a bit surreal to hear a familiar voice in a video game. While celebrity cameos aren’t uncommon in games, and it’s becoming more common for actors to pick up roles in triple-a titles, it can still throw people off-guard when they bump into someone they recognize. As it turns out, Tyler, The Creator is inGrand Theft Auto 5.
