This week DJ Quik joins the show and discusses his early influences, his journey as a producer and rapper, and his impact on the R&B genre. He also talks about the importance of representing the West Coast and staying true to his roots. Quik shares stories about his first beats and songs, his experiences with sampling, and his collaborations with artists like Tony! Toni! Toné!, Dr. Dre, and Eazy-E. He also reflects on the challenges he faced in the music industry and the power of controlling his own narrative.

I’ve been listening to this show a lot lately, as I’ve always been a big fan of J. Valentine.
I think it’s funny how he never talks about his time being signed to Suge and Death Row, must have not ended well.

Quik will always be the man. And one of the best cases for singing a terrible contract.
By the time he got away from Profile, the West Coast was dead and then he just became to volatile to nurture relationships properly etc.

Safe + Sound, Rhythm-al-ism, and Balance & Options is for sure one of the best 3 album runs of all time.
