Kottonmouth Kings is an American hip hop and rapcore group from Orange County, California. Kottonmouth Kings officially formed in 1994, and describe themselves as "psychedelic hip-hop punk rock".[1] Kottonmouth Kings comprise of Daddy X (the former frontman of Humble Gods and Doggy Style), Lou Dog, D-Loc, Johnny Richter, DJ Bobby B, Taxman a.k.a. "Munchies" and Pakelika, who serves as "visual assassin" for the group.[1] Also one of the founding members was Saint Dog which, appeared on their first full length studio album Royal Highness and the Stoners Reeking Havoc EP. The group first attracted attention with the song "Suburban Life," which appeared on the soundtrack to the film Scream 2. Kottonmouth Kings released their debut album, Royal Highness on Capitol Records in the summer of 1998. They began to gain mainstream success with the release of their third album, High Society in 2000, and toured with D12 and Bionic Jive in the fall of 2001.[1] In 2006, Kottonmouth Kings headlined at the year's Cannabis Cup and was named "Band of the Year" by High Times.[2] ICP also appears in some of their music.
The song "Can Anybody Hear Me" from the album "Greatest Highs" was used in the documentary a/k/a Tommy Chong about the U.S. government's incarceration of Tommy Chong for selling glass pipes over the internet.
