DJ Quik (now known as just Quik) is Compton, California's rap legend. In a recent interview with XXL Magazine that is long-anticipated album with The Fixxers, a coloaboration with AMG, was recently made available for sale on the internet without his permission. The album, "Midnight Life,” was a 12-track compilation which was believed to be released through Interscope and DJ Quik's label Dirty West. As of December 10, 2007, it was available for sale on a MySpace page called the Secret Music Group.

The Secret Music Group looked legitimate and appeared to be affiliated with Quik, AMG, and The Fixxers; but Quik explained this is not the case. He claims the album being offered on MySpace is an unfinished version which was stolen from a prior business partner.

Quik was quick to point out Hudson Baxter as the perpetrator. "He is a nobody from St. Louis who's trying to be Suge Knight, a tough guy, he's trying to be up everybody in Los Angeles… He stole my shit, and he's posting stuff and he's trying to advertise it, " explained DJ Quik.

Stepping away from the Fixxers, Quik will now focus on working with Snoop Dogg on his new, upcoming album Ego Trippin'.
