Latin alliance know what i m sayin 1991


Latin Alliance is the self-titled studio album by a one-off collaboration by Latino-American rappers Kid Frost, A.L.T. and Mellow Man Ace. The group was formed in 1989 and released their one and only record in 1991 by Virgin Records. The ten-track album featured the single "Lowrider (On the Boulevard)", which was a remake of War's hit single "Low Rider". Latin Alliance's regarded by many as one of the pioneer albums when it comes to further widespreading hispanic hip hop, being one of the first albums to be released by a group of Latino rappers.
