Tha Triflin’ Album

With an authoritative but playful rhyme style and phenomenal taste in collaborators, King Tee quietly put together one of the great, albeit overlooked, catalogs of any L.A. gangsta rapper. While his first two LPs, Act A Fool (1988) and At Your Own Risk (1990) hold their own against any those of his contemporaries, it’s Tha Triflin’ Album (1993) where he pulls together his most consistent LP. Not only does it feature the funky influence of producers such as DJ Pooh (“Drunk Tekneek”), DJ Alladin (“Just Flauntin’”) and Bobcat (“Blow My Sox Off”) but Tee also introduced the world to Tha Alkaholiks on several tracks, including “Got It Bad Ya’ll,” right before the group would go onto their own impressive career.
