Solid "mixtape" from Quik May 16, 2006
A nice mixtape, as he puts, from Quik just a short while before his 7th solo album, "Trauma", dropped. With 17 tracks, 3 are skits, 1 is an instrumental and 1 is an interview, so you only get 12 songs. Of these 12 songs, 6 are on other DJ quik albums, so its' 6 new songs, 1 of which Quik isn't on. All of the 12 are good or classic songs however. Guests are on 5 of the songs, and although there are no production credits, you can tell all or almost all of it was done from Quik, as he is a genius on teh boards. A great album for fans of Quik to have.
#2 - 9 (tight beat)
#3 - 8 (Chingy solo and it's actually decent)
#4 - 9.5 (nice dirty song)
#5 - 10 (CLASSIC!! -- from his "Quik is the Name" album)
#6 - 8.5 (f/ 2nd II None, Hi-C & AMG -- dirty song from his "Quik is the Name" album)
#7 - 8
#8 - 10 (CLASSIC!! -- from his "Quik is the Name" album)
#9 - 10 (CLASSIC -- from his "Dollaz + Sense" album -- dissin MC Eiht)
#10 - 8.5 (f/ Shawn Anthony -- nice beat)
#11 - 9.5 (from his "Balance + Options" album)
#13 - instumental
#14 - 9 (f/ Mixmaster Spade {R.I.P.} -- nice beat)
#16 - 8 (f/ B-Real -- from his "Trauma" album)

 TRAUMA is DJ Quiks most Advanced Album EVER..must buy!!! Jan 04, 2006
His record is one long play cd you will not skip any song on. Every song, written, produced, mixed, and mastered by QUIK, this is an instant classic DJ Quik record. Get Down with Chingy is a heater. OFF THE CHAINS!
Jodeci? Where have they been for 10 years? well they on TRAUMA and sound hotter than ever....."Indescretions in the back of the limo" INSTANT CLASSIC. There are not too many producers that can mess with quik. Add to it his lyrical skillz that ARE 100% top rank..no matter what anyone says...they continue to cement his legacy..This record is incredible and so worth the wait from his last heater.
His name can really be said in the same breath as Dr. Dre, Eazy E, and Ice Cube. Its my top pick for 2006.
The best mixtape Sep 14, 2005
This is the best mixtape I've ever heard, truly, it's done like an album, the quality of the music is so high that you might think this is an album.
The new tracks are all great: "Fandango" (the single), "The Maze" (very deep track about L.A.'s situation), "Does The Goodlife Exist" (it got that B&O feeling, wow!), "Total Auto" (diss to Suga Free and other people from his old camp, damn the beat is bananas) and "Doughe" (summer track, Mixmaster Spade tribute).
Only 10.000 copies of a great mixtape, if you're a fan, you gotta have it, in a real way!

"Trauma Mixtape" Review Sep 14, 2005
To build anticipation for his upcoming album of the same name, underrated West Coast legend DJ Quik has released "The Trauma Mixtape". It includes a mixture of classic material with new unreleased songs as a way to both please his old fanbase and introduce a new one. As an added treat, some of the older tracks have been remixed with different vocals and outros. The new songs include "Doughe", a tribute track to the late Mixmaster Spade, "Total Auto", "The Maze", "Does The Goodlife Exist" and the first single for his new album, "Fandago" guest starring B-Real. There is also a new version of "Loked Out Hood" featuring Chingy and an interview with Julio G where he talks about the new LP. On the classic track side, there are hits like "Tonite", "Dollaz + Sense", "Sweet Black Pu--y" and "Pitch In On A Party". All in all, this is a dope little mixtape.
