It feels good to be welcomed to the Hip Hop Vibe team so warmly. There is history to be made on all front, like how Rockstar Games has done with their Grand Theft Auto series. A notable game in the series is Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, where the character of Ken Rosenberg was introduced.

Ken Rosenberg settled in Vice City and became the legal counsel for various businesses throughout the city. Working for the Forelli family, Ken Rosenberg soon becomes the lawyer of Tommy Vercetti in 1986. Rosenberg connected Tommy with Avery Carrington, who played a major part in his businesses.

Tommy Vercetti eventually took over Vice City and Ken Rosenberg became his right-hand man. A cocaine addiction led to a rift between Ken Rosenberg and Tommy, who eventually had to cut ties with him. Ken Rosenberg resurfaces on Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, which is set in 1992, where he helps Carl “CJ” Johnson.

Eventually, Ken Rosenberg became partners with CJ and others in Caligula’s Palace Casino in Las Venturas. But, further speculation on the internet has led fans to believe Ken Rosenberg was eventually arrested by the FBI for his criminal dealings. With Grand Theft Auto V coming, there will be tons of new characters to enjoy, so in the days leading up to the game’s release, Hip Hop Vibe is spotlighting some of the older characters who played a big role in the history of the series.
