Pomona icon Suga Free taps longtime collaborator DJ Quik for a brand?new stand?alone single, “Who Can Do That,” a slick, elastic, funk laced reminder of why their chemistry has been untouched for nearly three decades. The track arrives independently on YouTube, marking a fresh chapter for two of the West Coast’s most influential stylists.
The single finds Suga Free in rare form, sharp, animated, and rhythmically unpredictable, while DJ Quik slides in with the effortless cool and musical precision that shaped an entire era of California rap. Their dynamic has always been one of the West’s most distinct pairings: Quik’s melodic genius and Suga Free’s conversational, pimp, poetic delivery. “Who Can Do That” taps directly into that lineage.
This release lands at a moment when both artists are experiencing renewed attention.
• Suga Free, a Pomona native who broke out with Street Gospel in 1997, remains one of the most stylistically unique voices in hip?hop — a rapper whose cadence, humor, and game?driven storytelling have influenced generations.
• DJ Quik, widely regarded as one of the greatest producers in West Coast history, continues to expand his legacy through new collaborations, live performances, and high?profile production work.
With the release of the new album “Mr. P Body”, now available on all streaming platforms, the single stands strong on its own, a reminder that when these two link up, it’s not nostalgia. It’s craftsmanship. It’s culture. It’s the West Coast operating at its highest level.
