He may be a bit overlooked overall in the national hip-hop scene, but on the left coast DJ Quik is a legend. His 1991 debut (Quik Is the Name) still gets burn in Los Angeles neighborhoods and select radio stations to this day. So when then Compton native announced the release of his new album, fans couldn’t help but be excited - Detox or no Detox. And with the release of his new single, Real Women, our anticipation is reaffirmed. Quik laces the production with steady, heavy thumps combined with a light melody and the occasional turntable cut that keeps the song true to the name, and will still have heads bouncing; not an easy feat. Guest Jon B, who’s also been flying below the radar lately, shines on the hook, and per usual Quik spits down to Earth rhymes about his love for the women who are really real. Plus, did I mention his production is out of this world? Solidified bangers like these are the reason. The Book of David will be heavily sought after this month when it drops on April 20.

For a second, I thought it was 1998. Quik, to this day, is still one of the most consistent producers in the game - which is why he is still IN the game. No complaints here - I dig this.

Quik on the low has had his hands in some of the most regarded classics in hip-hop so when he drops I listen. He still sounds fresh on the mic & behind the boards and Jon B was one of my favs in the 90s, glad to hear him.

II love songs that remind me of the 90's. Quick, blends hip-hop and R&B nicely to create this smooth, head bobber of a track. Jon B adds quality vocals to the hook, but Quick's contribution on both the beat and the verses, really make this track something to vibe to.

This is the jam. Brings you back to the older school of Hip-hop with the flow and the scratches. It's also a feel good track, which is def something to vibe to. I am feeling this.

DJ Quik doing it big on the beat. This song should have Cali very excited for the return of Quik. This song was released at the perfect time for the Cali summer vibe and the song is absolutely bananas. I was about to give this a 4, but at last second I thought this deserved better.
