DWNTWN presents DJ Quik
DWNTWN
On Thursday September 12th DWNTWN is hosting DJ Quik at the Commonwealth Lounge in Fullerton. Its 21+ and $20 to get in the door. Maybe you've heard of him. He was born and raised in Compton. Put out a few records. Made a few music videos. Is a West Coast living legend. Was just named the #1 Hip Hop producer in the LA area by LA Weekly (they did note they weren't counting Dr. Dre since he "belongs to the world"). He honestly doesnt need any introduction because he spent over twenty years making beats you know and love.
THAT DJ QUIK.
Now that you know who we are talking about, lets discuss where you'll be seeing him. The Commonwealth Lounge in Fullerton. If you haven't been here, you're missing out on one of the classier looking bars in the Downtown Fullerton area with its prohibition era decor and cocktail selections. However, where Commonwealth concerns you and the West Coast Icon in question, is that its a real intimate venue to see any artist at. Let alone someone that could easily sell out a place ten times its size. You'll be feet away from DJ Quik at the Commonwealth and because of its open floor plan and size, there wont be a bad seat in the whole place (though you better not be sitting down when Quik takes the stage).
Now to get you ready for the night. With eight proper albums, it might be a little daunting to narrow down whats going to give you a good overlook of the DJ Quik at his best. We had a DJ from our own DWNTWN Family, the one and only DJ Beneficial, make a playlist of some of DJ Quik's most important cuts for you to check out. DJ Beneficial grew up in Southern California and his knowledge of West Coast Gangster Rap is Jeopardy worthy.
And if you're wondering what to wear....... we got you covered. One of our own designs, Westside Till I Die, would be more than fitting for just such an occassion. You'll note DJ Quik is right up there between Kurupt and Dr. Dre. We designed and produced this shirt before we ever dreamed that one day we would be hosting an event to showcase any one of these legends. But you cant all be wearing the same thing at the event, so here is another solid choice.
