DJ Quik (born David Blake on January 18, 1970) is a West Coast rapper and record producer from Compton, California.

Among his albums are Balance & Options, Quik Is The Name, Rhythm-al-ism, Safe & Sound, Way 2 Fonky, and Unda The Influence. His two best sellers are Quik Is The Name and Safe & Sound. The latter was his only album executive produced by Suge Knight, with whom DJ Quik signed on to Death Row Records under his real name David Blake. During his stay, he recorded what may have been his biggest hit single, "Dollaz And Sense," which was a "diss track" to Compton rapper MC Eiht on the Death Row Murder Was The Case compilation. Other singles by DJ Quik include "Summer Breeze", "Pitch In Ona Party", and "Tonite", most of which never picked up outside of the West Coast.

DJ Quik has also collaborated with and produced for artists such as Tupac Shakur, The Outlawz, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, 2nd II None and Hi-C. In 2002, he produced Truth Hurts' Top 10 pop hit "Addictive". Quick used an uncleared Hindi sample on the record, and the copyright holdres eventually filed a $500 million dollar lawsuit against Truth Hurts' label, Aftermath Records.
