kottonmouth kings are a fucking underground revolution.. they are an institution in our american subculture and will be passed on to future generations, it is a movement and a lifestyle..
DLOC- Realer than real, stonger than steel, tough as nails, and dirtier than you. What!!! Some people talk it, some people live it, some people walk it, some people give it. D-Loc lives like Full Throttle - no apologies - no prisoners - no exceptions... Original, Unique, and One of a Kind. A hardcore soul filled with love, peace, and positivity.
D-Loc was built to last, an artist a poet with an intense performer that's so down to earth that he's underground. Some people follow the herd, others go their own way! He blazes his own trails in life. His passions are music, DJing, dirtbike riding, skating, and sexy women. Most of all his herb, his weed. He lives his fight for freedom he demands his rights for freedom. D-loc is free. He is a high powered MC for the Kottonmouth Kings. His rhyme style is original honest, and timeless... D-Loc has developed into prolific lyricist.. He can not stop smokin' weed. Can You?????
RICHTER- Johnny Richter, childhood buddy of D-Loc, was shipped around to six schools and 2 rehabs before being sent off to boarding school at age 16.Being a fan of classic rock groups (like the Grateful Dead, Led Zeppelin, and Jimmy Hendrix), this hard core stoner grew up singing along with anthems from the 60's and 70's while also being a fan of music from his own era. Switching from Run DMC to Tom Petty.. From Public Enemy to the Beastie Boys, Santana, Janis Joplin..; this mixture and diversity made for an unlimited spectrum of styles from the young MC.Richter Dipped into a whole new style on "Rollin' Stoned", He went from his stoner roots, and mixed a little of the old school with the new school. "I was just hanging out gettin high in my garage with the judge, and started singin; and he was freaked on it, so I threw it on the album. A Dope-slanging street hustler who has a 5 foot iguana, he went from moving pounds to moving units. Richter's party pad, which was used in the filming of KMK's first video "Suburban Life", had four kegs on tap and two full size nitrous tanks in operation at all times. Although out of the Kings, in the early days Richter would still show up at local KMK shows and bust old tunes like "Suburban Life" and "So High" with them. "When I wasn't with them, I still hung out with D-Loc, that's my neighbor from grade school, my oldest dog. He was doing his own thing and I was home keepin' P-Town and parts of O.C. swimmin' in nugs, just running my game." On his third album back with the Kings, Richter solidifies his position and has added a whole new element to the band.

PAKELIKA- The master and creator of Hydro - Mechanix, a visionary, revolutionary, rhythmical art. The only way to understand it to the fullest (Hydro - Mechanix)... Is thru one on one philosophical conversations with me. Look into the name Hydro - Mechanix... there are many meanings one of the most important "fluid - machine." Be both and try to know the in between. So in the words of Bruce Lee "...be water...my friend..." 360 = well roundedness.. The Mask meaning: "It doesn't matter what I look like... just matters what I do..." The mask is available at your local army supply store. Its called an extreme cold weather mask.. Pakelika beliefs:
Freedom - Respect - Rhythm, Be you, Everything has foundation, when it's your time build on it. Stay free, Watch the people in power, Remember after the 50's...was the 60's, Think about the time eras History repeats itself
