"Jus Lyke Compton" is the second single released off DJ Quik's second studio album, Way 2 Fonky. The song is produced by DJ Quik and Rob "Fonksta" Bacon.

Background and release

DJ Quik speaks about how so many cites seemed to be heavily influenced by the urban culture of Los Angeles. Some of the cities included Oakland, San Antonio, St. Louis, and Denver. However, the narrative of Denver is filled with contempt as Quik describes an incident that went down during a visit to the town.
