Album Notes & Community Reviews

The Compton rapper and legendary producer delivered an absolute masterclass in incredibly lush, live-instrumentation-driven West Coast G-Funk. Distinguishing himself from his peers' heavy reliance on sampling, Quik utilized live bassists, guitarists, and keyboardists to craft remarkably smooth, deeply funky grooves. The undeniably sunny, party-oriented production provides a brilliant contrast to the often violent, highly confrontational gangsta rap lyricism.
