History
DJ Quik, born David Marvin Blake on January 18, 1970, in Compton, California, is a rapper and producer who helped define the G-funk sound of West Coast hip-hop in the early 1990s. He started out making homemade mixtapes as a teenager and dropped out of school at 16 to chase music full-time, a period that included several years of homelessness after his family lost their house. His stage name traces back to his teenage affiliation with the Tree Top Piru Bloods, which is why "Quik" is spelled without the C. Signed to Profile Records off the strength of his tapes, he broke through with the 1991 debut album Quik Is the Name, powered by the singles "Tonite" and "Born and Raised in Compton." "Tonite" reached the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. Through the decade he feuded publicly with fellow Compton rapper MC Eiht, a rivalry sharpened by their opposing gang ties. Beyond his own records, Quik became an in-demand producer for artists including Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and Janet Jackson, later releasing the collaborative album BlaQKout with Kurupt (2009) and Rosecrans with Problem (2017).
