Dre’Quan Priest was always more of a hustler than a gangster. Rockstar is clear on that point: even when he was dealing on the streets to make ends meet, the real goal was breaking into music. Now he finally has a label, Only Raw Records, and a signed act to push.
Confirmed details
- Former street dealer whose long-term goal was always music.
- Runs Only Raw Records in partnership with Boobie Ike.
- Used to book acts into Boobie’s strip club, the Jack of Hearts.
- Has signed the rap duo Real Dimez.
- Now has his sights set on the wider Vice City music scene.
A label boss with a club-floor ear
His official quotes show how Dre’Quan thinks about the business. Dancers are his A&Rs, he says: if a record works in the club, DJs will be spinning it. That is a very street-level, very practical idea of talent scouting, and it explains why years of booking performers at Boobie’s club were not wasted time. To the artists he signs, his pitch is short: you’re with the label now.
Place in Vice City’s music story
Dre’Quan sits between Boobie’s established money and Real Dimez’s attempt at a second breakthrough. Rockstar notes that, with Real Dimez signed, his days of booking acts into Boobie’s club might be numbered. His ambition is specific and measurable, and Boobie’s profile puts it in five words: now they just need a hit.
What remains unconfirmed
Rockstar’s official profile identifies Dre’Quan’s Only Raw Records partnership and his signing of Real Dimez. Rockstar has not explained whether the music business becomes a player-operated activity, whether performers appear at scheduled venues, or how deeply the label story intersects with Jason and Lucia’s main missions.
