“Be safe on the block I invented.”
DJ Quik claims that he recorded and engineered YG’s starmaking single ‘My Nigga’ and was not given credit for his work.
Back in June, the legendary producer threatened on Twitter to sue an unnamed Compton rapper before deleting the tweet. He’s now come forward and said he’ll be taking legal action against YG’s representation Stampede Management.
