We return with our series looking at the most historic three-album runs in hip hop, and this one is BIG. We bring on writer Max Bell to break down the incredible slate of records from the one and only DJ Quik - Quik Is the Name (1991), Way 2 Fonky (1992), Safe + Sound (1995), as well as Rhythm-al-ism (1998).

You'll hear from a dope spectrum of rap voices, including Jeff Weiss, Dart Adams, Pete Tosiello, Nate Le Blanc and the Weird Rap collective. 💥
