DJ Quik’s Safe & Sound is a G-Funk masterpiece that’s as smooth as it is savage. Originally released in 1995, this Be With 2LP reissue revives Quik’s sun-drenched West Coast classic with full sonic flair - plus the bonus cut "Tanqueray", once a hidden CD-only gem.

Crafted at the height of G-Funk’s golden age, Safe & Sound saw DJ Quik ascend from streetwise producer to full-blown musical auteur. Blending live instrumentation with his signature rubbery synths and funky basslines, he forged a vibe that was more laidback cruise than drive-by drama. Tracks like "Safe + Sound", "Somethin’ 4 Tha Mood", and "Summer Breeze" showcase his gift for laidback storytelling over rich, textured grooves.

But don’t get it twisted - this isn’t all sunshine and slow jams. Quik comes for blood on "Dollaz + Sense", one of the coldest diss tracks in hip-hop history, and he doesn’t let up on "Let You Havit". Still, it’s his flair for mixing mood and melody that makes this album iconic - whether he's unpacking trauma or recounting sexcapades with a wink.

The 2022 pressing includes the full original double LP layout and fixes what the 1995 vinyl missed - “Tanqueray” now shines on wax in all its funk-fueled glory. Housed in a black jacket with a silver promo-style sticker, it’s the stealth bomber of West Coast hip-hop. Essential gear for any vinyl head with a love for lowriders and luscious production.
