Through the '90s, DJ Quik added to his solo discography with Way 2 Fonky (1992), Safe & Sound (1995), and Rhythm-al-ism (1998). 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. 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. 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. The production was mainly handled by DJ Quik along with his executive producers Courtney Branch, Tracy Kendrick and Greg. Recording sessions took place at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles from August to November 1990, with a production budget of 30,000.
