With this iteration of the GTA series a little more than a a month off, the news is starting to pick up even more. Today Rockstar have officially launched their Ballard Of Gay Tony website which will be updated over the next several weeks as the release gets closer, and be the main hub for the game upon release.

But right here today you have the chance to meet up with Liberty City’s biggest land owner, and head “Gangstar”, Yusuf Amir, who by the way, simply loves the Arab Money. A song he just enjoys signing in the game, as well as wander around in his briefs with a somewhat odd placement for a moniker. You just have to see it to know what I’m talking about.

Check the brand new video out and see how he’ll be included in the upcoming release.
