Instead of joining the G-Funk movement during the ’90s, DJ Quik created his own style of P-Funk with equal nods to Roger Troutman (Zapp), Geaorge Clinton (Parliament/Funkadelic) and N.W.A. (Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, Eazy-E). The first one-man hit squad, he produced tracks with an unadulterated love for the music, while writing rhymes with miles of laid-back style.

Throughout his career he has produced hit after hit with one Platinum and three Gold albums of his own plus numerous production credits on hits for everyone from 2Pac and Jay-Z to Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston. This is  a 14 tracks collection published in 2006 under Arista/Profile label. NjoY! (more…)

This all-new career-spanning collection of “lost cuts” mines the flip-side of their crossover smashes, including sides from rare Tommy Boy singles, dope remixes, bonus tracks, promo-only specialties, previously unreleased gems, and more!
