Tha Alkaholiks Tribute Mix - Mixed by DJ Franchise & Tim Diesel


Somewhere along the way Tha Alkaholiks were forgotten among true school aficionados.  Maybe not forgotten, but certainly overlooked.  Tracklist and download after the jump.

Local 1200 legend and homie, Tim Diesel, invited me to the All Day Play studios in Oakland to spin with him on his radio show “On The Roof”. He’s done some great tribute/block mixes in the past: Grand Puba, LONS, Nice N Smooth, etc. He and I discussed doing a tribute mix to one of my favorite West Coast groups – Tha Alkaholiks. They were one of my favorite hip-hop groups because they were so LA but didn’t necessarily associate with the thug imagery commonly thought of when you think of LA. Tash and J-Ro had great lyrics/punchlines, while E-Swift provided a musical backdrop that was funky but east-coast inspired. Hope you like the mix. I did the first 30 minutes, Diesel the last 30 min.
