Dre'Quan Priest is the music mogul behind Only Raw Records in GTA 6. A former street dealer who hustled his way out of the corner and into the studio, he books talent at Boobie Ike's Jack of Hearts and just signed the Real Dimez. Here's everything we know about him.
Boobie Ike owns the Jack of Hearts strip club, co-founded Only Raw Records with rising music mogul Dre'Quan Priest, and runs one of GTA 6's most visible operations in Vice City. His Trailer 2 dialogue makes it clear that drug money pays for everything else. Here's everything we know about him.
Brian Heder is the Leonida Keys boatyard kingpin who Jason Duval works for in GTA 6. A self-described beach bum, third-time husband, and veteran of the Keys' golden-age smuggling era, he now lets younger associates do the dirty work.

Dre'Quan Priest is the music mogul at the centre of GTA 6's Vice City hip-hop scene. He runs the creative side of Only Raw Records, the label Boobie Ike funds. He books talent at Boobie's strip club, the Jack of Hearts. And in Trailer 2, he was the one who signed the Real Dimez, the female rapper duo (Roxy and Bae-Luxe) widely positioned as Only Raw's first major-hit play.
A former street hustler whose stated dream was always music, not gang life, Dre'Quan is shaping up as one of the more layered supporting characters in the GTA 6 cast. Here's exactly what's confirmed about him.
The official character framing describes him as someone "always more of a hustler than a gangster. Even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, breaking into music was the goal."
That distinction matters. Dre'Quan's character arc isn't "gangster trying to go legit." It's "hustler who was always trying to get to music, and is finally there."
The single most-quoted Dre'Quan moment in Trailer 2 comes from a brief voiceover during a music-video-shoot scene:
"Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it."
The line lands a specific industry-savvy worldview in one sentence. A&Rs (Artists and Repertoire) are the music-industry talent-spotters who decide which artists get signed and developed. Dre'Quan's framing positions the dancers in Boobie's strip club as the early-stage filter for what becomes hits, with the DJs as the validating amplifier. It's the kind of line written by someone who understands how Florida hip-hop actually breaks.
The line also establishes the structural connection between the Jack of Hearts (Boobie's club, where Dre'Quan books acts) and the broader Vice City music scene. The club isn't just where Dre'Quan works. It's where the talent pipeline starts.
Dre'Quan works for Boobie Ike, who owns the Jack of Hearts strip club and Only Raw Records. The relationship is professional, with Dre'Quan running the music-mogul side of Boobie's wider operation while Boobie provides the capital, the venue, and the wider street credibility.
The most-quoted Boobie Ike Trailer 2 line, "The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all," is the wider context for what Dre'Quan is building. Only Raw Records is a real label with real artists. The funding model is unconventional. Both Boobie and Dre'Quan operate inside that funding structure without pretending otherwise.
Full breakdown in our Boobie Ike character profile. The Boobie-and-Dre'Quan dynamic is one of the cleaner mentor-and-rising-talent structures in the wider GTA 6 cast.
The Trailer 2 framing positions Dre'Quan as the executive who signed the Real Dimez, a female rapper duo composed of Roxy and Bae-Luxe. The Real Dimez are Only Raw's first major artist signing on screen, and the framing of "Dre'Quan's days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered" implies the signing is the moment his career pivots from venue-booking to full-on music-mogul work.
A separate Trailer 2 scene shows the Real Dimez in a recording studio, vocal booths and gold chains visible, in what reads as an early-recording session for Only Raw's debut release. The implication is that Dre'Quan's bet on signing them is in active production by the events of the game.
Whether the Real Dimez actually break through inside the game's story, or whether Dre'Quan's music ambitions hit harder reality checks, is unconfirmed.
Dre'Quan appears in Trailer 2 with a recognisable visual identity:
The visual contrast with Boobie Ike is deliberate. Boobie reads as established-money, Dre'Quan reads as rising-money. The character design signals the generational handoff inside Only Raw's leadership.
A few details circulating in the community that have not been verified:
Three reasons Dre'Quan is the breakout supporting character he's quietly becoming.
1. He grounds Vice City's hip-hop economy in something specific. GTA 6's Vice City is openly built around Florida hip-hop culture. Dre'Quan is the character through whom the game's music industry actually works on screen. He's the connector between artists, venues, and money.
2. The Real Dimez signing creates an obvious narrative thread. First-major-artist-signing is a structurally rich story to attach to a supporting character. Whether the Real Dimez succeed or fail, the arc is built to pay off.
3. His voice line punches above its weight. "Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it." is the kind of compressed industry-truth dialogue that Rockstar writers historically use for characters they intend to feature heavily. The line implies a level of music-industry literacy in the writing room that suggests Dre'Quan's presence in the game is more than ornamental.

Dre'Quan Priest already feels positioned as one of GTA 6's most layered supporting characters. Trailer 2 established the role; launch will show whether the Real Dimez signing is the win it's framed as.
