DJ Quik and Problem (a.k.a. Jason Martin) are releasing a joint album, and they’ve recruited Lil Jon to help them kickstart the rollout with a bang.
The West Coast duo announced on Friday (April 19) a full-length collaboration called Chupacabra, which is set to arrive later this year via EMPIRE.
The first single, “Workout,” is a funky, uptempo ode to shaking off the negativity and lifting one’s mood through moving around and working up a sweat.
“Express yourself!/ Do ya thing in the mirror and express yourself/ We all make mistakes, correct yourself/ If ya don’t like their style then dress yourself,” Problem raps on the track, which also features West Coast Hip Hop pioneer Rodney O (of Rodney-O & Joe Cooley fame).
Fans can expect to hear “Workout” blaring through their TV screens in the coming months as Quik and Problem have partnered with ESPN to sync song throughout the 2024 NBA Playoffs.
Listen to it below.
DJ Quik and Problem are no stranger to collaborating having previously joined forces in 2017 for the album Rosecrans.
Named after the major thoroughfare in their hometown of Los Angeles, the project boasted appearances from The Game, Wiz Khalifa, MC Eiht, Dom Kennedy and Suga Free, among others.
In addition to Chupacabra, Quik is also set to hit the road with Snoop Dogg and Warren G this summer on the Cali to Canada Tour which, as the title suggests, will take the West Coast rap legends north of the border.
The 11-date trek commences on June 3 with a performance at the Scotiabank Centre in Halifax, and will wrap up on June 25 at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena.
Stops in Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Winnipeg and Calgary are also scheduled.
Last month, both Quik and Snoop attended the ceremonial unveiling of Dr. Dre‘s star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame alongside other Hip Hop luminaries like Eminem and 50 Cent.
