DJ Quik’s 3-Album Run w/ Max Bell | Ep. 150

We return with our series looking at the most historic
three-album runs in hip hop, and this one is BIG. We bring on
writer Max Bell to break down the incredible slate of records
from the one and only DJ Quik - Quik Is the Name (1991), Way 2
Fonky (1992), Safe + Sound (1995), as well as Rhythm-al-ism
(1998).


 


You’ll hear from a dope spectrum of rap voices, including Jeff
Weiss, Dart Adams, Pete Tosiello, Nate Le Blanc and the Weird Rap
collective.
