The Best of DJ Quik.
Well, look what we have here? A collection of 39 tracks from one of the most underrated and unheralded hip hop artists of all time, the west coast icon, DJ Quik. It was mixed by Matthew Africa, and I'll let him tell you why:
I made this mix because people sleep on DJ Quik. Maybe they've forgotten or maybe they never understood, but people don't get the breadth or depth of his talent.
I feel you, dog. Too many people sleep on Quik, but not us here at Hip Hop Official. In fact, I've already listened to this 3 times today.

And if you missed it, DJ Quik let us into his secret studio and showed off some of his toys. It's must see internet TV.

DJ Quik x Kurupt.
Two westcoast legends teaming up on one album? This sounded too good to be true. So we had to the get to the bottom of this. Fortunately, I had a chance to sit down with the O.G.s, DJ Quik and Kurupt, to talk about their upoming collab album called Blaqkout (no Meth and Red). Lucky of us, the rumors are true. Quik is producing, Kurupt is spitting, and tons of other dope artist are contributing. Check the interview where they talk about how they recorded the album and motivated each other. And make sure you stay tuned for the out takes from this interview. Classic hilarity guaranteed.

Murs For President.
I sat down with Murs to talk about his new album, Murs For President, working with beatsmith 9th Wonder, and the lack of quality hip-hop today. He says he plans on changing the landscape of music. He also has the craziest hair I've ever seen. A vote for Murs is a vote for change.

Snoop Is All About The Cash.
Snoop Dogg is out for the cash...Johnny Cash, that is. Off the strength of his country music inspired song “My Medicine” with Willie Nelson, the Doggfather is set to appear on a Johnny Cash remix album due out in October. Snoop will remake the Man In Black's classic song “I Walk The Line” which will be co-produced by Teddy Riley and DJ Quik. Snoop said that if you take the time to listen, country music is very similar to rap. Well yeah, with the exception of the fascination with material wealth, strippers, bottles of Chrys, gun clapping, and drug trafficking, they're exactly the same, Snoop.
Legendary producer Pete Rock will also remix Cash's "Folsom Prison Blues" for the upcoming remix album. It'll be interesting to see how he pulls that one off.
