"Way 2 Fonky"
Song

"Way 2 Fonky" is the first single released off DJ Quik's second studio album, Way 2 Fonky.

Background and release

On the song, Quik takes time to address issues with MC Eiht and Bronx-based rapper, Tim Dog, who had released a song called "Fuck Compton". He claimed that he was growing tired of the increasing popularity of West Coast music that was causing him and other East Coast acts to be overlooked by record labels and publications alike.[1] The song contains samples of "More Bounce to the Ounce" by Roger Troutman and "Falstaff" by The Watts Prophets.[2] Tim Dog responded with "I Don't Give a Fuck" and "Breakin North" off his second album Do or Die.

Music video

The video featured Quik dressed in all black, surrounded by his homies in a dark warehouse setting that becomes illuminated by random flashes of light.[3]
