Only Raw Records

The partners

Rockstar describes the label from both sides. Boobie Ike's biography says: "Boobie might seem like he's just out for himself, but it's his partnership with the young aspiring music mogul Dre'Quan for Only Raw Records that he's most invested in - now they just need a hit."

Dre'Quan's profile says he "was 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." It continues: "Now that he's signed the Real Dimez, Dre'Quan's days of booking acts into Boobie's strip club might be numbered as he sets his sights on the Vice City scene." Another line on his card is simply "You're with the label now."

How the money moves

Boobie's own pull quote explains the funding: "The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all." Dazed's Autumn 2026 cover story describes the same arrangement as a "private empire including the Jack of Hearts strip club (a GTA staple) and a music studio, overseen by the young, opportunistic Dre'Quan Priest."

The club also works as a testing ground. Dre'Quan's other pull quote: "Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record's a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin' it."

The studio in pictures

Several official images take place in the studio. Rockstar's captions describe "people gathered in a recording studio. A man is sitting in the foreground in front of equipment and Dre'Quan stands directly next to him," "the Real Dimez speaking into microphones in a recording studio," and Bae-Luxe "sitting in a recording studio holding headphones." Another shows "the Real Dimez stand side by side in front of Dre'Quan with his hands on one of each's shoulder," which reads like a signing photo.

The roster

Real Dimez are the only act Rockstar names. Their biography says that after an early hit with DWNPLY and "five years and a whole lot of trouble, they're signed to Only Raw Records, hoping lightning can strike twice." The label and the duo need the same thing.

The Miami modelUnconfirmed

Rockstar's narrative lead Rupert Humphries told Dazed the team studied how Miami hip-hop "exists in house parties in Overtown, clubs like Booby Trap on the River, and then high-end places on South Beach." The strip club as a hit-maker is real: City Girls' Yung Miami has said she broke an early track by paying DJs at strip clubs to play it. Rockstar has not tied Only Raw to any real label.

What remains unconfirmedUnconfirmed

Rockstar has not confirmed the label's location, a full roster, or whether it can be visited or run as a business in GTA VI.
