Biography
As a teen he took up an affiliation with the Tree Top Piru.[1] He grew up without a father and moved out of his mother's home when he was only 17.[2] He spelled his name without the "c" because, although being a Blood, he didn't want to offend Crips by having "ck" in his name ("ck" together would mean Crip Killer).[3] It was always thought that he had 8 sisters, but in a March 2007 interview he stated that he only had one, explaining that Profile Records at the time had suggested to add it to his background.[3] He began selling homemade mixtapes (like The Red Tape, 1987) after he received a turntable for his 9th grade graduation and then began doing shows DJing around Southern California when he moved out. He signed to Profile Records in the summer of 1990, reportedly as the label's first six figure signee.[4] Not only could he write his own songs, he could produce as well. Profile Records was a record label known as Panorama Records until Cory Robbins and Steve Plotnicki bought the label from MCA Records. ...

His debut album, Quik Is the Name was led by the success of two top 20 R&B singles, "Tonite" and "Born and Raised in Compton." The album ended up reaching 10th on the album charts,[5] and being certified platinum by the RIAA.[6] None of his successive albums reached the success of his debut, though they have been well received in California,[citation needed] particularly his 1998 release "Rhythm-al-ism".[2] On "Safe + Sound" appears "Dollaz + Sense," which was a diss track to Compton rapper and member of the rival Tragniew Park Compton Crips, MC Eiht. The 2 would make several threats and diss tracks to each other in the mid 1990's. Today, Quik is on good terms with MC Eiht.[7] A debut album is the first released music album by an artist or a band. ...

Quik made a name for himself during the early-mid '90's, taking cues from Dr. Dre/Death Row Records and Above the Law with records in the g-funk style.[citation needed] He was chiefly inspired by funk and soul artists,[8] such as Roger Troutman (who even taught him the use of the talkbox, which became a trademark for Quik's sound throughout his career up to 2005, when he then stated he was retiring the talkbox out of respect to Roger)[citation needed] and George Clinton.

Though he is only credited for producing "Heartz of Men" on 2Pac's acclaimed All Eyez on Me (in the credits he used his real name, David Blake, because Profile did not allow him to use his stage name) he also did additional production and mixed half the album. In 2002, he produced Truth Hurts' Top 10 pop hit "Addictive". Quik used an uncleared Hindi sample on the record, and the copyright holders eventually filed a $500 million dollar lawsuit against Truth Hurts' label, Aftermath Entertainment. Quik also produced and appeared on another track on Truth Hurts' debut LP, Truthfully Speaking, entitled I'm Not Really Lookin.[9] All Eyez on Me is a double album by rapper Tupac Shakur. ...
