West Coast underground brilliance.
A classic 90s West Side single that combines sampling and smooth beats. Tha Liks' playfulness and skill shine through.
"The Next Level" is a key track in the 1995 West Coast hip-hop movement. Pete Rock's production, which incorporates saxophone phrases, shines, and the three members of Tha Alkaholiks each deliver outstanding mic performances. The humorous yet technical, party-ready sound, colored by alcohol and bounce, redefined the "freedom" of hip-hop.
