Six years after his last solo studio release, Hip-Hop icon and platinum recording artist DJ Quik is back. The Compton, California native returns with his eighth solo studio album on April 20th with ﾓThe Book Of Davidﾔ. As a nod to his birth-name, David Blake, this latest release is a candid and insightful project.
Mixing Quik’s legendary beat crafting with his well known gangsta bravado, ﾓThe Book Of Davidﾔ is a raw representation of Quik as both an evolved recording artist and the mind of the man behind the music, David Blake. The album is entirely produced by DJ Quik and features memorable cameos from Bun B, Ice Cube, Kurupt, Dwele, Suga Free, Jon B, Bizzy Bone and others.
ﾓThe whole idea behind this project was not just to make another rap album,ﾔ says DJ Quik. ﾓI wanted to focus on the overall musical performance processﾅnot just the rapping part. Itﾒs a smart album, itﾒs everything I wanted it to be.ﾔ
ﾓThe Book Of Davidﾔ is as multi-faceted as the illustrious creator. Every track provides another gripping chapter to Quik’s prolific discography. The albumﾒs lead single, ﾓLuv of My Lifeﾔ featuring Gift Reynolds, is already garnering heavy spins from top regional radio stations, including Los Angelesﾒ Power 106, San Franciscoﾒs KMEL, Seattleﾒs KUBE, Phoenixﾒs KKFR and more.
Given that his skills are just as precise now as they were two decades ago, Quik’s music remains relevant and essential. ﾓThe Book Of Davidﾔ is yet another fine addition to the catalogue of an immensely gifted artist.
