The Latin Kings
The Latin Kings (TLK) was a Swedish hip hop group from the municipality of Botkyrka in the southern suburbs of Stockholm, Sweden. Their 1994 debut album, Välkommen till förorten (transl. Welcome to the suburbs), was promoted as "authentic Swedish rap" and incorporated local street slang, representing everyday life for youth living in Stockholm's immigrant suburbs. Their subsequent four albums incorporated themes and traditions from American West Coast hip hop.
The members of the group are the rapper and frontman Dogge Doggelito (Douglas Léon) and the two brothers, DJs and record producers, Salla (Christian Salazar Campos) and Chepe (Hugo Salazar Campos). They all have roots in Latin America (Venezuela and Chile), which is why they took their name from the gang Latin Kings.
