Dec.6th – DJ Quik released his debut album “Quik Is The Name” on Profile Records , on this day in 1991.

The extremely talented Compton , California producer and artist was the most expensive signee on the independent Profile Records , reportedly netting a six figure deal.

“Quik Is The Name” would spawn the chart-climber “Born And Raised In Compton” and the single title track as well as the hit “Tonite”.

DJ Quik would go on to be one of the most successful producers in music history.
