Midnight Life is a shelved studio album by hip hop duo The Fixxers that was set to be released December 7, 2007.
Background
When Quik was released from a prison sentence for parole violation, he decided to form the duo with longtime friend AMG.[1] The group's name was chosen by AMG and Quik's manager Greedy Greg, and in their own words refers to their desire to "fix music" - "We're fixing music out here. We're interchanging our LA people. Right now. Where it was all dry before, we're giving them a breath of fresh air that's homegrown" - Quik.[2] The group's debut album, Midnight Life, was supposed to be released in 2007, but never received a physical release; It was sold via the MySpace page of the Secret Music Group, with Quik claiming this was an unauthorized, unfinished version of the album, sold by a former business partner who had hacked Quik's MySpace to make the release look official.[3][4]
Single
The group signed a singles deal with Interscope Records after their track "Can U Werk Wit Dat" received regular airplay on Los Angeles radio, the label going on to release it as a single.[1] It was chosen as number 22 on Vibe's "44 Best Songs of 2007". The single became a favorite on LA radio stations and was featured on the HBO TV show Entourage. It also featured on several Billboard charts: #7 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles chart,[5] #20 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart,[6] #21 on the Rhythmic Top 40 chart,[7] and #74 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart,.[8]
