Kottonmouth Kings Remake Dr. Dre Classic “The Next Episode” With California Twist

Kottonmouth Kings have released their remake of the classic west coast hip-hop anthem “The Next Episode” by Dr. Dre online at http://bit.ly/KlrrdD. Kottonmouth Kings are preparing for the release of their thirteenth studio album, “Mile High”, on August 14th via their own Suburban Noize Records. The album is available online for pre-order with a number of exclusives online at http://store.kottonmouthkings.com/mile-high-pre-order.html.

“We wanted to pay homage and respect to the pioneers of West Coast hip-hop, so we did a rip-hop version of ‘The Next Episode’ because we take a lot of pride in representing the West,” said Kottonmouth Kings Brad X. “It was a lot of fun doing the song and made sense because we do in fact smoke weed every day.”

California’s reigning rip-hop originators, Kottonmouth Kings have long been a cornerstone of one of today’s most radical music movements. Combining mind-bending sonics, and fusing hip-hop, punk rock, and classic soul, The Kings have innovated and pioneered a unique signature sound that has set them apart from the pack and has fueled the band’s longevity and enduring popularity with a diverse international fan base. Kottonmouth Kings have proved their lasting staying power, building on a powerful DIY ethos and redefining the meaning of a self-empowered group by running their own company, touring and releasing albums on their own terms.

Kottonmouth Kings recently released their new video for “Hold It In” online at:
