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.[1] Their subsequent four albums incorporated themes and traditions from American West Coast hip hop.[1]
