I have waited almost 4 years for Quik to put out another CD and it was worth every second. No disrespect to Kanye West but, he can not touch Dj Quik. He's been puting out bangin hits for years and 98% of his music is with out samples from old records. Quik is in my eyes a musical genius. Every album that Quik has put out is hot but Trauma, is his best album ever. The way he put together some the traks on this album iw out of this world. This is by far the best album of 2005 hands down. One track in mind is #8 with Wyclef is just sick. This is one album that you just put in the player and let it play. I know Quik lives in the city where anything can happen, but I pray to God that he protects this man. I know that he has so much to give to the Hip Hop industry. I haven 't been this excited over an artist since 2Pac. I encourage everybody to get this album.
