Guided by West Coast legend King Tee, Tha Alkaholiks carved out a unique lane in California Hip Hop. Their music captured the party atmosphere of the West Coast scene—clinking bottles, drunken antics, and high-energy rhymes—without leaning on the gangsta narratives that dominated much of the region’s output at the time. Instead, Tha Liks brought lyrical fire, proving that West Coast MCs could compete with their East Coast counterparts on pure skill.
Clocking in under 40 minutes, 21 & Over is a tight, punchy project loaded with standout tracks like “Last Call,” “Make Room,” and “Likwit.” The album’s consistent party-ready vibe and clever wordplay solidified Tha Alkaholiks as a West Coast force to be reckoned with, establishing a legacy that still resonates decades later.
