Tha Alkaholiks—J-Ro, Tash, and E-Swift—sit down with Ambrosia For Heads for a candid episode of What’s The Headline, hosted by Reggie Williams and Editor-In-Chief Jake Paine. The conversation spans the group’s legacy, brotherhood, and the creation of their new album Daaam!, which uniquely features re-recorded classics alongside five new songs.

The trio explains how they originally blended East Coast lyricism with West Coast bounce to create a sound that stood apart in the early 1990s. They revisit how the group formed, how their chemistry developed, and how that same creative dynamic resurfaced while recording Daaam!, this time completely sober. For the first time in their careers, all three members made music without alcohol, a shift they say changed both the process and the clarity of their performances.

They also detail the meticulous effort required to recreate some of their most beloved records so faithfully that they feel indistinguishable from the originals. The group shares insights into their writing process, including why starting with hooks often unlocks stronger songs.

Much of the discussion reflects on their time at LOUD Records, where they toured with major artists and built lifelong industry relationships. They recount the legendary, chaotic session behind “Hip-Hop Drunkies” with Ol’ Dirty Bastard, advice they received from Ice-T, and why a long-rumored Likwit Crew album never materialized.

Tash also reveals he has a remix of his solo song “Attention Is A Drug” featuring Q-Tip, Xzibit, King Tee, and Defari. Along the way, the trio names their Mount Rushmore of West Coast Rap groups, reflects on the meaning of the 1990s era, and speaks openly about mentorship, spirituality, and the enduring bond they share as a group.

For longtime Hip-Hop fans, this is a rare, reflective look at one of the genre’s most distinctive crews.
