Bruno said he was influenced by Quik growing up and it was a tribute.

i can... watch it.

this isn't quik.

he just said in an interview:

The spirit of this album, growing up in the '90s, is to me the most joyous (time) for me. That's my childhood. That's what I grew up on," he explained before rattling off a list of iconic West Coast stalwarts. "I love DJ Quik, Suga Free, Too Short, E-40, Dr. Dre of course, Snoop, and that's because these songs, they influenced hip-hop, these '70s funk songs, but it took place in the '90s and that's why you had this soulful music with a superstar rapping on it. For me, it was all about the live show and the kind of party I want to throw."

They did a good job copying his style.

‘Chunky’ off the same album sounds even more like Quik - probably cos Quik gave the producers his Flexatone:

great sounding record.

if they loved Quik that much they could always go to the source.
