专辑简介
Roger McBride, mostly known as King T, is a West coast rapper from Compton, California. Tee had been around the Los Angeles hip hop scene for many years alongside Ice T and Kid Frost and acted as a pioneer for the genre. In 1988 he made his debut with Act a Fool, considered a classic amongst west coast fans.
During his time with Capitol, Tee began mentoring a young trio of rappers called Tha Alkaholiks, or “Tha Liks,” as well as their loosely affiliated collective called the Likwit Crew. The Likwits included Xzibit, who would later rise to fame and bring king Tee close to Compton producer Dr. Dre. Tha Liks put out their debut album under King Tee’s guidance on Loud Records in 1993. Tee greatly influenced The Notorious B.I.G. with his deep voice, flow and rhyme style, which Big would at times imitate on his 1994 album Ready to Die. Tee later paid homage to Biggie on the track “6 In’a Moe’nin” on his album Thy Kingdom Come, using a similar setup to and vocal samples of Biggie’s track “Somebody’s Got to Die.” Recently, Ice T confirmed in an interview that King Tee was B.I.G’s favorite MC.
Tha Triflin’ Album is the third album by West Coast hip hop artist King Tee. It was panned critically for being dated and containing a “lighter rap approach.” It contains two singles; “Got It Bad Y’all” featuring Tha Alkaholiks and “Black Togetha Again.” Neither of them charted, but Tha Triflin’ Album performed better on the Billboard 200 chart than any other King Tee album. This relative commercial success can be attributed to guest appearances by Tha Alkaholiks and Ice Cube as well as hip hop newcomers Nefretitti, Coke and Dr. Soose of Mad Kap and Deadly Threat. The production, handled by producers including Tha Alkaholiks, DJ Pooh and Marley Marl may have also attributed to the album’s reception. The success of this album is quite significant as it allowed King Tee’s protégés, Tha Alkaholiks, to gain a following. It also provided a foundation for King Tee’s Likwit Crew.
