Freeload: Best of DJ Quik Mixtape by Matthew Africa

• story THE FADER

We were feeling pretty Garfield (MONDAYS!) til we started jamming this extra thorough mix of “America’s Most Complete Artist.” Now we are remembering the donk-ish Chevy Monte Carlo (indestructable!) we pushed in high school and wondering if it’s too early for a 40. So says Matthew Africa of the genius/kingdom of DJ Quik:

I made this mix because people sleep on DJ Quik. Maybe they’ve forgotten or maybe they never understood, but people don’t get the breadth or depth of his talent.

If you are one of those people, kill yoself! And find that Fixxers album, it’s one of the unheralded gems of the 21st century.
