Dre'Quan Priest is a supporting character confirmed to appear in Grand Theft Auto VI (Rockstar Games, 2025), introduced to the public through Rockstar Games' second official trailer for the game, released on 6 May 2025 (Rockstar Games, 2025a). Described on the official Grand Theft Auto VI website as "always more of a hustler than a gangster," Dre'Quan is positioned as a young, aspiring music mogul who runs Only Raw Records, a label co-financed by Vice City strip-club owner and former street operator Boobie Ike (Rockstar Games, 2025b). His character art, accompanying tagline "Only Raw... Records," and a key piece of dialogue — "Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it" — were unveiled alongside the trailer's launch (Rockstar Games, 2025b; GTA Wiki, 2025). This report focuses specifically on his on-screen presence in Trailer 2 and the screenshots community archivists have catalogued from that footage.
Within the second trailer, Dre'Quan's appearances are brief but narratively significant, threading the player into Vice City's hip-hop and strip-club economy. Catalogued screen captures on the GTA Wiki gallery (2025) identify at least two distinct moments featuring the character:
Beyond these two clearly identified beats, Dre'Quan also features in the trailer's broader montage of Only Raw Records and Real Dimez sequences — the studio shots, the rap-video shoot, and the strip-club performance footage that establishes Boobie Ike's empire — though he is not always front-of-frame in those rapid cuts (Rockstar Games, 2025a). Press coverage from IGN's annotated breakdown of the trailer notes that the music-industry storyline is one of the most prominently expanded subplots in Trailer 2 compared to the first 2023 trailer, with Dre'Quan and the Real Dimez duo (Bae-Luxe and Roxy) anchoring it visually (IGN, 2025).
In total, his cumulative on-screen time is estimated at only a handful of seconds — typical for an ensemble supporting character in a Rockstar trailer — but his repeated pairing with Jason Duval implies a recurring mission-giver or partner role rather than a one-off cameo (GTA Wiki, 2025; IGN, 2025).
The Trailer 2 release was accompanied by an updated Grand Theft Auto VI website that bundles trailer stills with bespoke promotional screenshots for each major character. For Dre'Quan, this includes a dedicated character portrait, four official promotional screenshots (catalogued by the GTA Wiki as SS1–SS4), a piece of stylised key artwork, and a short looping video of the character set against the Grassrivers locale tile (Rockstar Games, 2025b; GTA Wiki, 2025). The promotional stills depict him in studio and street contexts consistent with his role as a label manager, while the trailer-sourced screenshots place him directly in the playable narrative space alongside Jason Duval (GTA Wiki, 2025).
The visibility given to Dre'Quan in Trailer 2 — both the dedicated website slot and his pairing with Jason in two distinct trailer beats — signals that Only Raw Records and the Real Dimez subplot is a substantive pillar of GTA VI's narrative architecture rather than ambient world-building (Rockstar Games, 2025b; IGN, 2025). Commentators have framed the music-industry track as a probable mission strand in which Jason (and by extension Lucia) help Dre'Quan navigate the Vice City scene after signing the Real Dimez (IGN, 2025; GTA Wiki, 2025).
