DJ Quik, whose real name is David Marvin Blake, is an influential American rapper, songwriter, DJ, and record producer from Compton, California. He was born on January 18, 1970, rising to fame in the early 1990s with his debut album "Quik Is the Name", which was critically acclaimed and certified Platinum by the RIAA. Known for his signature funk-based sound and quick-paced rapping style, Quik has been a vital contributor to the West Coast hip-hop scene, working both as a solo artist and collaborator with a wide array of talented musicians.

Over the years, DJ Quik has established himself as a prolific figure in the industry, releasing a plethora of albums that continue to resonate with both new and long-standing fans. Although the listed releases such as "MORE DOLLARS, MORE SENSE" featuring Childish Gambino and "Rosecrans" imply a continuing zest for creating compelling music, these particular tracks are not widely recognized as DJ Quik's and might be mistakenly attributed to him. They could either be deep cuts, collaborations not primarily promoted, or releases from a different artist with a similar name. DJ Quik's genuine body of work includes albums like "Safe + Sound", "Rhythm-al-ism", and his work on "Rosecrans" in collaboration with Problem in 2016, which continues to demonstrate his adaptability and innovation in the evolving genre of hip-hop.
