Dj Quik and Scooter One of the most revered figures in rap since his early-'90s debut, DJ Quik emerged as a formidable rapper/producer and extended his career working primarily as a funk-inspired beatmaker for stars and protégés alike. Quik, born David Marvin Blake, made a name for himself in his native Compton, California by compiling mixtapes that also featured AMG, 2ND II None, and Hi-C. On the basis of these tapes, he was signed to Profile and debuted with Quik Is the Name (1991), on which he produced all the tracks and rarely shared the mike -- a rare solo rap artist to do so. The album spawned the Top 20 Billboard R&B/hip-hop chart hits "Tonite" and "Born and Raised in Compton" on its way to RIAA platinum certification. Through the '90s, DJ Quik added to his solo discography with Way 2 Fonky (1992), Safe & Sound (1995), and Rhythm-al-ism (1998), all three of which were certified gold. During this decade, Quik racked up outside production credits as part of Penthouse Players Clique and granted beats to several fellow rappers, mostly West Coast associates, but his most successful collaborative effort was Tony! Toni! Tone's "Let's Get Down," a Top 30 pop hit for the R&B group. For more information visit: musicboxsd.com Stay Connected on Facebook

The Cult has reveled in a controversial and storied career. Emerging from the darkly romantic UK post-punk scene with the album Dreamtime, followed by the anthematic idealism of Love, the Rick Rubin produced NYC street hustle of Electric to the textural amplifier worship of Sonic Temple & Ceremony, deconstructing full circle for The Cult. After a brief hiatus, the band released Beyond Good & Evil in 2001 just prior to 9/11. Born Into This, their 6th release was heralded by MOJO Magazine as “a wholehearted, utopian, and irrefutably exciting record.” Choice of Weapon, The Cult’s third full-length album of the new millennium, culminating in an intense uplifting performance at Coachella 2014 acknowledged as “The messianic moment of Coachella" by Rolling Stone magazine. In 2016, the band released its 10th studio album Hidden City, an elegantly brutal masterpiece inspired by a visceral exploration of self and soul launching The Cult into another triumphant world tour burning up stages with Public Enemy, Primal Scream, Foo Fighters, Guns and Roses and many others.
