Tha Alkaholiks

Tha Alkaholiks, also known as Tha Liks, is an American hip hop trio from Los Angeles. Since the early 1990s they have produced party music with a hardcore hip hop edge, powered by the beats and rhymes of DJ, producer and rapper E-Swift (he was born Eric Brooks in Columbus, Georgia and grew up in Toledo, Ohio) and the rhymes of J-Ro (born James Robinson in Los Angeles) and Tash (born Rico Smith in Columbus, Ohio). Though commercial crossover success largely eluded the group, they maintained a dedicated following on the West Coast, throughout the United States, and worldwide. Three songs of Tha Alkaholiks were featured on Loud Rocks, a complilation album. 21 & Over (1993) Coast II Coast (1995) Likwidation (1997) X.O. Experience (2001) Firewater (2006) Daaam!
