Kottonmouth Kings “Koast to Koast” their 8th studio full-length release, is due out June 6th on Suburban Noize Records.

"It's an open-minded, loyal fan base," said emcee-producer Brad "Daddy" X, who founded the Kottonmouth Kings in 1994. "They range from people who love hip-hop to punk rock to stoners to hippies to young kids to old kids to girls. It's a diverse, eclectic mix of people, which is what's so beautiful about it. That's further proof that the Kottonmouth Kings break down barriers between people. There are all types of people at a Kottonmouth Kings show, from hippies, punkers, and hip-hoppers. That's what's great about it. You can't really stereotype it. They're just free-thinking individuals." The Kottonmouth Kings have been working non-stop since the release of Kottonmouth Kings “Kottonmouth Kings” in May 2005. "Every time we do a new album, it's fun to go on tour," Brad X said. "We add new songs to the set and try to take the show to another level. What excites me about it is getting back to the people and bringing the music live to the people that support it and love it and keep us doing this. Kottonmouth Kings is a different breed than everyone else. That's what makes it unique and special. It's a new beginning in a lot of ways and it's a liberating time for our camp. We're able to work at our own pace, make our own decisions and just run with it. It's been an amazing experience cultivating this following. When this is all said and done, the Kottonmouth Kings will live on in the underground for years and years and years to come. So fans who like us now, their kids will be listening to us someday."
