This Southern California USA-based Punk-Rock Rap-Rock outfit was founded
in 1994 by vocalist Brad 'Daddy' X who teamed up with vocalist-rappers
Saint Dog and D-Loc, turntablist DJ Bobby B, drummer Lou Dog plus masked-dancer
Pakelika and a crazy guy, Taxman, labeled as 'anti hero'.
The crew soon began performing live around the West Coast area and in
1997 released the 5-track EP "Stoners Reeking Havok", followed
a year later by their debut full-length disc, "Royal Highness",
which was issued through Capitol, the record included "Bump",
the single track climbed into the top 30 of The Modern Rock chart.
In 1999 Saint Dog left to be replaced by Johnny Richter, that same year
the group released "Hidden Stash" on their own Suburban Noize
Records.
The next Kottonmouth Kings' release, 2000's "High Society" cracked
The Billboard Top 200 Albums chart reaching the #65 spot and yielded the
Modern Rock top 40 hit, "Peace Not Greed".
"Hidden Stash II The Kream Of The Krop", was churned out before
the 2001 was out, it debuted at #100 in U.S. Albums chart.
A follow-up album was issued almost exactly one year later, "Rollin'
Stoned" was the fourth album released via Capitol Records, the set
hit #51 slot on The Billboard Top 200 list, supported by the single "Positive
Vibes".
The prolific band toured constantly throughout the new millenium and shared
the stage with bands like Jane's Addiction,
311, The Offspring,
Green Day, Pennywise,
Cypress Hill and many more; in the
summer of 2003 they released a stop-gap album, the live compilation "Classic
Hits Live".
Kottonmouth Kings re-emerged with a new studio-set in April 2004, although
the main track, "Bad Habits", failed to chart, "Fire It
Up" became their most successful album to date, reaching the #42
on The Billboard Top 200 list.
The group released their seventh album, in late May 2005, the record simply
titled "Kottonmouth Kings No.7", included the single "Put
It Down" recorded in collaboration with Cypress
Hill.
Kottonmouth Kings are back with "Koast II Koast" a 24-song
full-length album which includes the single "Everybody Move".
