FIREWATER TO BE LAST CALL FOR
THA ALKAHOLIKS
NEW
AND FINAL ALBUM STREETS IN EARLY 2006
Waxploitation Records and
KOCH Records announce the release of Firewater, the fifth and final album by Tha
Alkaholiks. Firewater is slated for a February release and will precede an Alkaholiks
‘farewell tour’ – a final party for their fans. The group will retire after the
release of Firewater and the final tour.
“Knowing Firewater was going
to be our last album made us very, very focused,” says E-Swift. “We knew
there was never going to be a second chance and we owed it to our fans to put
everything we could into it, right here, right now.”
“We
all have different goals and things we want to do as individuals. It’s important
for us to move forward and find new challenges,” says J Ro.
"We
were party animals for over a decade. Times are changing,” says Tash. “We’ll
still get together once in a while to do a song here and a song there…but this
is going to be it as far as albums go.”
Over the last decade, few
artists have been able to crossover with both commercial and underground audiences
as seamlessly as Tha Liks have done. Consistent fixtures year-after-year in the
fickle hip hop world, Tha Alkaholiks (Tash, E-Swift and J-Ro) are considered by
many to be as influential as any artist in hip hop. Classic Alkaholiks singles
like “Make Room,” “Daaaaaam!” and “Likwit” are still radio and mixtape staples.
Tha Alkaholiks have released four critically acclaimed CDs: X.O. Experience,
21 & Over, Coast II Coast, and Likwidation which have featured a ‘who’s who’
of hip hop’s elite including Nas, Busta Rhymes, Madlib, Xzibit, Q-Tip, Kurupt,
The Neptunes and Ol’ Dirty Bastard to name just a few.
Three early samples
from the new album are available online. The song “Get Into It” can be heard at
www.alkaholiks.com and
the Danger Mouse produced “Chaos” can be heard at www.myspace.com/alkaholiks
. The single “The Flute Song (LaLaLa)” can be heard at www.waxploitation.com
