Drunken Tiger is a Korean/American hip hop group which debuted in 1999 and has since released eight albums.
As of 2009, Drunken Tiger’s central figure is Korean American Tiger JK. Other members affiliated with Drunken Tiger are DJ Shine (left in 2005), DJ Jhig, Micki Eyes, and Roscoe Umali.

Tiger JK was born in Seoul, South Korea on June 11th, 1974. At the age of 12, JK moved to Los Angeles with his family. While living in LA, Tiger JK witnessed the tension between Korean Americans and African Americans during the L.A. riots. JK, already an avid follower of hip-hop, was inspired to bridge the gap between the two ethnic cultures using hisal rhymes. At only 16 years old, he collaborated with Drunken Tiger member Micki Eyes and a friend, Sucram, to compete at a a local hip-hop festival in 1992. He hoped that his performance as a Korean-American with other non-Koreans would relieve some of the tensions between the cultures. JK saw it initially as an experiment, but his performance caught the attention of Oasis Records in Korea. As a result, JK was later signed and released his first solo album, “Enter The Tiger,” in 1992. The album had some brief buzz, however, due to censorship and restrictions put on his title song “Hide and Seek,” the album received limited publicity.
