Legendary rapper and producer DJ Quik will release his ninth studio album, The Midnight Life, October 14 via his Mad Science label in conjunction with INgrooves Music Group. The Compton native says the collection reflects his favorite music-making environment. “This album is my ode to having fun in the midnight hour,” Quik says of his new LP. “That’s the best time for making music in my opinion. It’s quiet, especially if you’re in a recording studio. You can hear everything and you know everybody’s asleep. You can sneak and do your best work.” Quik performed at his album release show in NYC October 7 at S.O.B.’s and October 11 in Irvine, CA as part of the “How The West Was Won” concert. He will perform in Oakland for KMEL’s “Legends of Summer Jam” concert October 25. This album is for people who like to have fun,” Quik says of his new album, which features Suga Free and Dom Kennedy on the single “Life Jacket.”
