Way 2 Fonky is the second studio album by American hip hop artist and producer DJ Quik; released by Profile Records on July 21, 1992. Recording sessions for the album took place during 1991 and 1992. Dj Quik Way 2 Fonky lyrics [DJ Quik] Oh yes I'm new and improved, and to a funky-ass groove My name is Quik and I'm smooth, and I'm makin yo' ugly bitch move.
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.

DJ Quik proved his mettle with 'Jus Lyke Compton,' a definitive bit of regional touting that proclaimed West Coast rap the style-setter and all others followers.
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]
