Post by: Hambone (Guest) on May 16, 2001, 10:39:36 PM

News On DJ quik..........


D.J. Quik, is hard at work on his follow up to 2000's platinum release, "Balance & Options." The as-yet-untitled album will feature guest appearances from a variety of artists. Recently, Quik finished recording a song with Reflection Eternal member Talib Kweli. The song, titled "7:30" was produced by Quik.

"First of all, he is very humble and well mannered" Quik said. Quik who has worked with a variety of artists over his lengthy career, was very impressed with Kweli's writing skills. "He writes quality shit just as fast as 2pac used to. I look forward to making more music with him."

There is no release date slated for Quik's new album, but confirmed artists to appear include Talib Kweli, AMG and Hi-C.

YESSSSSSS!  "Balance + Options" was one of my favorite albums of 2000...not to mention my favorite Quik album.

I hope his album will drop this year.

Heat Misers? I never heard of that one before.

thats just some cats that put quiks name on the album to make it sell, they had released the album before under a different name (ive forgotten)

i think quik produces one song or sumthin, i havent peeped it yet. definitely not a quik album

oh, dont forget the sheppard lane Konnectid Project, quik produced pretty much every track on that and features on quite a few cuts, its good.

They made a mistake.  Quik's last album barely went gold.  Took it a year to hit 500,000 copies sold.

Title: Re: D.J. Quik And Talib Kweli Hook Up
Post by: Sikotic™ on May 20, 2001, 04:13:50 AM

Yeah his old label dropped him like a bad habit.

Title: Re: D.J. Quik And Talib Kweli Hook Up
Post by: Mr_Loc on May 20, 2001, 07:50:01 AM

more like he dropped the label (arista) after some retard from there said quik couldnt rap.

he's now got his own label (Euphonics i think its called) and it goes thru Universal

Post by: Hambone (Guest) on May 20, 2001, 12:02:07 PM

is it just me...or does Universal have the Industry on Lock?????


Aftermath
CashMoney
DefJam

That right there....is enough...

Now that Quik's got his own label he can make some great music.  Fuck Arista, they told him to drop rappin and just be a producer, but the Quiksta is smart.
