DJ Quik is a West Coast hip-hop giant. With his fourth album, Rhythm-Al-Ism, he has created his masterpiece, a perfect hip-hop album. As Quik explains, “The name Rhythm-Al-Ism says it all about what I was doing. I was mixing rhythms. I was mixing R&B with hip-hop and jazz. And a bit of comedy”. It's absolutely sensational and, as with many mid-90s albums, original vinyl copies are now rare, so here's the reissue of Be With.

Released in 1998 on Profile, Rhythm-Al-Ism is Quik's most commercially successful album. “You'z A Ganxta” and “Hand in Hand” made the rounds on radio stations across the country, and less radio-friendly tracks like “Medley For A ‘V’” were blasting out of car radios. Combining his soulful, jazzy P-Funk/G-Funk rhythms with his effortlessly fluid flow, Rhythm-Al-Ism was the quintessential West Coast party. Slamming synths, bouncing bass, monstrously pounding drums and weird keys - this is acid party-rap at its finest, straight from the factory. Music for sliding, for skating, for spending time with loved ones and poison. Sunshine. No worries. Barbecues. Heavy smoke in the air. Spirit and good humor in spades. A real boost to the mood.
