American rapper, actor and record producer DJ Quik was born on January 18, 1970 in Compton, California. With a career spanning over three decades, he has become a prominent figure in the West Coast hip-hop scene.
Known for his unique blend of funk-infused beats and smooth lyrics, DJ Quik has released numerous successful albums and singles throughout his career. He has collaborated with artists such as WC, Mack 10, Tha Eastsidaz, Suga Free, Kurupt and many more.
Aside from his musical talents, DJ Quik has also ventured into acting and producing. His son David Blake II is following in his footsteps as an aspiring artist. With his influential contributions to the music industry and undeniable talent, DJ Quik continues to leave a lasting impact on the world of hip-hop.

DJ Quik is a giant of West Coast hip-hop. With his fourth album Rhythm-Al-Ism he created his masterpiece, a perfect hip-hop album. A preternaturally gifted producer/rapper, DJ Quik has produced scores of LA gangsta rap classics. He's released platinum and gold records of his own, as well as helped craft them for the likes of Tupac, Snoop Dogg, and Dr Dre. Quik has always been quirkier and more interesting than his gangsta rap peers, both musically and lyrically. An old-school funk producer at heart, he's also incredibly nice on the mic. His raps often deal in boasts, jokes and good times but also cover his beefs, his trials and his trauma. Partying and pain, all mixed up. DJing and producing hype beat tapes from age 14, Quik's tracks blended the languid funk and rubbery synths of Zapp and George Clinton with a gangsta aesthetic, creating a more danceable foil to Compton's more typical nihilistic hedonism. Ultimately, his records sound custom engineered to drift out over sun-soaked barbecues. 

Released in 1998 on Profile, Rhythm-Al-Ismwas the closest Quik ever got to making a commercial splash. "You'z A Ganxta" and "Hand in Hand" made radio waves across the country and the less radio-friendly tracks like "Medley For A 'V'" were bumping out of car stereos. Combining his soulful, jazzy P-Funk/G-Funk beats with his effortlessly smooth flow, Rhythm-Al-Ism was the quintessential West Coast Party. Squelchy synths, bouncy bass, monstrously knocking drums and freaky keys - this is peaking acidic party-rap, straight out the gate. Dripping with wit and good humor. A real swing to the vibe. Mastered for vinyl by Simon Francis, cut by Pete Norman and pressed at Record Industry.
