DJ Quik's newest is self-produced and it shows. It sounds like something out of the 90s. The beats are rather bland and could use a serious beef-up, and, because of beautiful evolution, Quik's voice is just that right amount of high pitched to make it sound like a throwback. That being said, The Book of David is a strong album. Although the beats could use some finishing touches, they come off as interesting and fresh. The focal point of the record, Quik's rhymes, are a force to be reckoned with. His lyrics are aggressive yet respectful, and he gets some support from some pretty big names: Ice Cube, Kurupt, Dwele, and Bun B.
Verdict: 4.2/5. Favorite tracks: Ghetto Rendezvous, Killer Dope, Hydromatic (feat. Jon B and Gift), Nobody (feat. Suga Free), Boogie Till You Conk Out (feat. Ice Cube), Flow For Sale (feat. Kurupt The Kingpin), So Compton (feat. BlaKKazz K.K.), The End (feat. Carry Shider).
