Editors’ Notes At a time when West Coast rap was engulfed in bloated production techniques and gangster posturing, Coast II Coast arrived as a breath of fresh air. Mischievous, spontaneous, and often uproarious, The Alkaholiks’ second album reinvigorated L.A. Rap by injecting it.

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.
