DJ Quik is prepping for the national release of his "Trauma" mixtape, which will set the stage for the new album that Quik will be releasing later this year on his own Mad Science Recordings. The "Trauma" mixtape features five new tracks and also traces DJ Quik's remarkable history by including hits from his decade-plus recording and producing career. Eagerly anticipated by mixtape DJs around the world, "Trauma" also marks the first time an artist will be mixing and hosting his own mixtape. Only 10,000 copies of the limited edition mixtape, which features artwork from renowned tattoo artist Mr. Cartoon, will be pressed up.
The impending release of the "Trauma" mixtape and Quik’s new album come on the heels of a flurry of activity for the Compton-raised rap icon. Quik recently toured Europe as part of the current The Game/Snoop Dogg tour. During The Game’s set, Quik served as DJ. For Snoop Dogg’s performance, Quik played percussion, making the outing a showcase for Quik’s extraordinary DJ skills and his musicianship. DJ Quik’s musical resume includes such landmark hits as "Tonite" and "Trouble," as well as his production work with 2Pac, Jay-Z, Chingy and Talib Kweli, among many others. His forthcoming album is another masterpiece.
"This record is magical," explains DJ Quik, "it has tons of air. You won’t feel claustrophobic with this record because there is not a ceiling. This record is as expansive as the universe, but yet as confined as a CD."
Highlights on DJ Quik’s new album include lead single "Fandango," which features B-Real from Cypress Hill and marks the first time these two rap revolutionaries have worked together. The cathartic "Intro For Roger," the edgy, party-starting "Ladies-N-Thugs" with Wyclef Jean and the sexy "She Pass By" with Nate Dogg are some of the collection’s other standout cuts. Each song reaches the highest level of musical and lyrical expertise.
So with "Trauma", get ready for the triumphant return of DJ Quik!!!
