DJ Quik - Luv of My Life
Artist: DJ Quik
Producer: DJ Quik
Album: The Book of David
Label: Mad Science
Attention, fellas: if you happen to be assembling a playlist to set the mood for a Valentine’s Day evening with your significant other, don’t just glance at the title and throw DJ Quik‘s new single, Luv of My Life, into the mix – it might give her her the wrong impression. You see, the Compton veteran is most emphatically not looking to get wifed up. Instead, this joint finds him and Booth newcomer Gift Reynolds waxing poetic about a few of their favorite things: cash, liquor, whips, no-strings-attached booty, you get the picture. Though the subject matter may not scream “romantic,” Quik’s laid-back synth-bass instrumental makes for perfect chill-out material, and the collaborators’ luxurious stunting is nothing if not entertaining: “Orange bottle champagne, teal, green blue / Clicquot in y’all Perignon, weed too.” Find yourself nodding along to this breezy West Coast banger? Then you’ll undoubtedly dig the rest of what Quik’s cooked up for his latest full-length, The Book of David, scheduled to hit store shelves and online retailers– drumroll, please…April 20.

Quik is one of those producers (and always has been) who could release an all-instrumental project and earn a Grammy nom. The boardwork on "Luv of My Life" is not outrageous or mind blowing, but its highly enjoyable - to the point you wouldn't even need a vocal accompaniment.
Mr. Reynolds, you are on our radar sir. |

Always been a huge fan of Quik, his production is so original and distinct that you can't overlook it. For some reason, his production work mixed with his voice makes me want to be at a house party during the summer time. Maybe that's just me, but I'm getting the same feeling as I listen to this record as well. Reynolds was a really good addition as well.

OG west coast at its finest. I know not everyone will feel this, but if you've been a fan of Quik since way back when you can't help but dig this. Great to see the man enjoy such longevity.

Hot dog, the Quick is back, with that old school flavor from the west coast. I can see "the luv of my life being played on every radio station across.

I'm a sucker for Quiks flow/production. Always have been. This is definitely not his greatest moment, but it's coo. #WestCoast.
