Tha Alkaholiks, also known as Tha Liks, is an American hip hop trio from Los Angeles.[1] 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).[1]
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.
