Kottonmouth Kings January 11, 2008

The psychedelic, hip-hop, punk rock group known as the Kottonmouth Kings emerged from Orange County, CA, in 1994, and has been on a steady upward roll ever since. Hailing from Orange County, CA, (hed)pe fuse the local sounds of the area punk revival scene with G-funk-inflected hip-hop, a sound the band tagged "G-punk." The group's re-vitalized lineup currently includes vocalist Jared, guitarist Jaxson, bassist Mawk, drummer Devin and DJ Product 1969 (turntables/samples). (hed)pe has been described by Rolling Stone as "the one rare metal act willing to admit that good times actually exist." Sub Noize Souljaz combines a rotating cast of members of various Suburban Noize Records artists including the Kottonmouth Kings, Big B, Judge D, Saint Dog, Big Hoss, and OPM's Johnny Necro, with new recruits Dirtball, Just Cause, and Chucky Styles.
