The Compton rapper and producer released his seventh album on September 13th, 2005, via his own independent label Mad Science Records.

Prior to this, he released the Trauma Mixtape, a mixture of his hits and new songs, prior to releasing the album to feed the fans as his album was delayed while he was moving from Warner Bros. to Fontana Distribution.

The album debuted at number forty three on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, with 24,000 copies sold in its first-week.

Tracklist:

Doctor's Office

Intro for Roger

Fandango (Ft. B-Real)

Till Jesus Comes

Black Mercedes (Ft. Nate Dogg)

Get Up (Ft. AMG & The Game)

Get Down (Ft. Chingy)

Ladies & Thugs (Ft. Wyclef Jean)

Catch 22

Indiscretions in the Back of the Limo (Ft. T.I.)

Spur of the Moment (Pacific Coast Remix) (Ft. Ludacris)

Quikstremental (Quik's Groove 7) (Ft. Jodeci)

Jet Set (Ft. Tai Elton Phillips)

California (Ft. AMG)

To me, it's his worst solo album

Overly reliant on commercial features, no real sequencing gonna on

That said, it's solid - his sound was expanding a bit here

He has a great catalog

1) Holy shyt at this album already being 20 ears old
2) They missed out on a huge hit with "Black Mercedes". The track with TI and the remix of Luda's song could have been singles as well
3) Damn shame that a Quik and Jodeci record first came out in 2005 instead of 1995.

I liked that intro joint - he went for the banjo AND a harpsichord πŸ˜‚

Agree that Midnight Life could be the worst but it still had glimmers of classic Quik (Puffin the Dragon, the joints with Suga Free, the one with Dom etc)that I didn't get feel Trauma
