    DJ Quik's began selling mixtapes after 9th grade and performed as a DJ in the Los Angeles Area after receiving turntables as a graduation present. By 1990, Profile Records signed him as a producer and a rapper and his first album, Quik Is the Name, was released in 1991. It was a commercial success and ended up selling over 1 million copies behind the strength of the singles Tonite and Born and Raised in Compton.
