The player is loading ...
B. Cox and J. Owe look back at Compton rap icon DJ Quik's 1991 debut classic album Quik Is The Name, an early adopter in the G-Funk sound which would come to define Southern California hip-hop in the early 1990s. It was a project that would combine references to urban Los Angeles/Compton hood culture and fun-loving times on the West Coast.
