Tha Alkaholiks

Tha Alkaholiks, also known as Tha Liks, is an American hip hop trio from Los Angeles, California, United States.[1] Since the early 1990s they have produced party music with a hardcore hip hop edge, powered by the beats of DJ and producer E-Swift (born Eric Brooks in Columbus, Georgia, raised in Toledo, Ohio) and the rhymes of J-Ro (born James Robinson in Los Angeles) and Tash (born Rico Smith in Cincinnati).[1] Though commercial crossover success largely eluded the group, they maintained a dedicated following on their native West Coast, throughout the United States and worldwide. 3 songs of Tha Alkaholiks were also featured on Loud Rocks.
