Tha Alkaholiks

A Los Angeles hip-hop trio whose party-oriented rap carries a hardcore edge, performing at 229, a concert venue in central London.

Tha Alkaholiks are a hip-hop trio from Los Angeles. They entered the genre through their work with King Tee on his 1993 album Tha Triflin'Album. They then toured alongside KRS-One, Ice Cube and Too $hort before achieving major-label success with RCA.

Since the early 1990s the group has made party music with a hardcore hip-hop edge. The beats come from DJ and producer E-Swift, and the rhymes from J-Ro and Tash. Their collaborators include Xzibit, Ice-T, Ol'Dirty Bastard, Dillated Peoples and Lootpack, among others named in their work.

The concert takes place at 229, a London venue that hosts live music. The night suits listeners who follow West Coast hip-hop with a party-driven sound and a harder lyrical edge.
