DJ Quik is scheduled to release his The Midnight Life album October 14, according to a press release.
The ninth album from the platinum rapper-producer is set to be released through his Mad Science label in conjunction with INgrooves Music Group.
“This album is my ode to having fun in the midnight hour,” the Compton, California rapper says of his new LP. “That’s the best time for making music in my opinion. It’s quiet, especially if you’re in a recording studio. You can hear everything and you know everybody’s asleep. You can sneak and do your best work.”
Suga Free and Dom Kennedy join DJ Quik on The Midnight Life single “Life Jacket.” Other songs on the collection are said to include “Fuck All Night,” “Quik’s Groove 9” and “Bacon’s Groove.” Beyond Suga Free and Dom Kennedy, guests on the project are set to include El Debarge, Bishop Lamont, Mack 10, Tay F 3rd and Tweed Cadillac.
