Without the aid of mainstream press, radio, or MTV, the Kottonmouth Kings have infiltrated the music industry on their own terms and made themselves a force to be reckoned with. The group’s new album, “Long Live The Kings”, debuted at #26 on the Billboard Top 200 this week to give the band their highest charting record in the group’s career. The chart position confirms how powerful the band’s underground movement has become, and silences critics who refuse to acknowledge the group’s lasting staying power.
“Our new album, ‘Long Live The Kings’, charting so high on the Billboard Top 200 is a testament to perseverance, hard work and self belief. If we would have paid attention to the critics and naysayers we would have been done 15 years ago,” commented Daddy X of Kottonmouth Kings. “Against all odds, we are a true independent underground success story, and we are 100 percent self made, self produced, self manufactured, and self sold!”
