The legendary Compton rapper and producer DJ Quik has been making music because the late ’80s, and he’s nonetheless completely able to making a completely beautiful new monitor. Before in the present day, it had been some time since we’ve heard from Quik. His final document was Rosecrans, a collaborative EP with Problem that got here out means again in 2016. (They expanded it right into a full-length in 2017.) Today, Quik is again with a casually masterful new single referred to as “Class.”
“Class” isn’t some grand assertion of objective; that’s not likely how Quik works. Instead, it’s simply Quik rapping about butts, casually virtuosic circulation utterly within the pocket. But the true cause to concentrate is the best way Quik chops up strings and bass into one thing symphonically funky. Give the monitor a pay attention beneath.
There’s a brand new DJ Quik album on the best way. Also, Quik is about to move out on the Cali Classic tour with Mack 10, Warren G, Amanda Perez, Kid Frost, tha Dogg Pound, and Suga Free. That seems like a very good time.
