This week I’m bringing it back to the West Coast (four finger up & two twisted in the middle w/my locs on & my chucks strong *starts c-walking). If you were born and raised on the West Coast, then when it comes to music you know not to leave this legend out of the loop, David Blake, a.k.a. DJ Quik (Mc and Producer) is back at it again with his upcoming project: The Book Of David. It’s been about 5 solid years since he’s put out a solo album, but his most recent work lies between collaborations with The Fixxers back in 2007 (Midnight Life) and Kurupt in 2009 (BlaQKout).
This Weeks Editors Pick: Track of the week goes to “Nobody” – Dj Quik featuring Pomona’s own Suga Free (While you Bullshittin’ !!!) which is the first leak off The Book Of David. The production on this gets a thumbs up, well honestly, Quiks production has always made me move even when I didn’t want to. Suga Free’s delivery always makes me laugh, and his lyrics = Jokes ! To be simply put, it’s ‘a feel good’ track. The end of the track is my favorite, download and you’ll see why!
There is no set date on when The Book Of David will be released, just keep looking back for more information here on The Rise.
Editors Pick: Track Of The Week 4

“I did it overnight, it couldn’t happen any quicker
Y’all know them? Well, fuck it, me either
But point the biggest skeptic out, I’ll make him a believer
It wouldn’t be the first time I done it, throwin’ hundreds
When I should be throwin’ ones, bitch, I run it”
It is week four of Editors Pick: Track Of The Week and thus far, I have chosen tracks from albums that have a release date set for the month of March. Although previously released and posted, this weeks pick is “Over” by Drake Produced by Boi-1da and Al Khaaliq. ” If this track doesn’t show his growth as an artist, then I don’t know what to tell you and I can’t wait for that to reflect in the album. “So Far Gone” killed the mixtape game (being that it was better than most peoples albums), so DO NOT attempt to dig up someone else’s name who has been nominated for a Grammy without an album because IT HASN’T HAPPENED. History in the making, true story. Not everyones a fan, just give respect and props to where it is due and I’ll let you slide. I can hear the critics now, ha-ha !
Well on another note, “Thank Me Later” hits stores March 30th and of course we are all looking forward to it. The artwork has yet to be released, however there is a possible cover (not yet confirmed) that has been making its way through internet waves. The final track list has not made it through either, but there are a few confirmed tracks that will give you an idea what he’s working with below:
“Afrika Boombatta” (feat. Lil Wayne)
“Fireworks” (Produced by Crada & Noah “40″ Shebib)
“Light Up” (feat. Jay-Z) (Produced by Tone Mason & Noah “40″ Shebib)
“Over” (Produced by Boi-1da & Al Khaaliq) — 3:56
