Background notes
Archive material and source history
Tha Gataz came out of Long Beach, California in the early 1990s, led by brothers Bigga Rankin and Bigga Rube. Their debut album 'Tha Gataz' arrived in 1992, and the single 'Family Ties' became a local hit that captured something real about family bonds and sibling relationships.
They followed with albums like 'Tha Alkaholiks' in 1993 and 'Likwidation' in 1995, mixing hard beats with R&B touches. The group faced some criticism for their lyrics about street life, which they pushed back against, and dealt with personal struggles while continuing to record.
By the late 1990s they'd put out 'No Shame No Pride' and kept working into the 2000s with releases like 'First Class' in 2003. Their sound stayed rooted in that West Coast hip-hop feel, straightforward and unpolished.
