OFFICIAL SCREENSHOTS
Profile
Dre’Quan Priest is a young, aspiring music mogul trying to make it in Vice City. He’s the co-founder of Only Raw Records alongside his partner Boobie Ike — the established money to Dre’Quan’s raw ambition.
Dre’Quan represents the dream that Vice City sells to every young person who steps off a bus or out of a prison cell: you can make it here. The music industry is the path — not crime, not drugs, but talent, hustle, and the right connections. He’s betting everything on Only Raw Records because it’s his way out, his way up, his way to prove everyone wrong.
But the music industry in Leonida is as dirty as the streets. Labels are fronts. Producers are connected. And the line between a record deal and a drug deal is razor-thin. Dre’Quan navigates this world with Boobie’s backing, the Real Dimez as potential talent, and the weight of an entire community’s expectations on his shoulders.
He just needs a hit. One song that changes everything. And in Vice City, the quest for that hit will take him places he never expected.
Key Relationships

Real Dimez
Connected to the Only Raw Records ecosystem. Bae-Luxe and Roxy could be the stars that put the label on the map.
Vice City Connection
Dre’Quan’s story is the modern evolution of Vice City’s music subplot. In the original game, the music world was represented by Love Fist — a fictional hair metal band managed by the hapless Kent Paul. The music industry was background color: radio stations, concerts, groupies.
In GTA 6, the music industry is a core storyline. Dre’Quan isn’t background — he’s a character with agency, ambition, and stakes. The evolution from Love Fist to Only Raw Records mirrors the evolution of Miami’s music scene itself: from ’80s rock to modern hip-hop, from background radio to streaming empires, from joke characters to complex protagonists.
