DJ Quik — Quik Is The Name LP

A landmark of West Coast hip-hop, DJ Quik’s Quik Is The Name introduced the Compton producer and MC with a signature blend of funk-infused beats, smooth production, and razor-sharp lyricism. Released in 1991, the album helped define the sound of early ‘90s California rap while showcasing Quik’s talents as both a producer and performer.

Featuring classics like “Tonite,” “Born and Raised in Compton,” “Quik Is the Name,” “8 Ball,” and “Loked Out Hood,” this debut remains one of the essential records of the G-funk era and a cornerstone of West Coast hip-hop.
