"Bear witness to the dawning of a new era, as the KMK's crown their newest member, The Dirtball..."
So begins the KMK's 13th studio release, "Long Live the Kings".
Suburban Noize Records fans are long familiar with the Dirtball's one-of-a-kind flows. And it's no secret that the "Northwest King" has been spitting some of the tightest, cleverest rhymes the underground has heard for nearly a decade now.
So, it goes without saying, that adding the Dirtball to the Klick is the smartest thing the band's done in quite some time.
I give the Dirtball a ton of credit for breathing new life into a project that's been missing something for a few albums now. His presence has no doubt inspired some of the best work in recent memory from Daddy X and Johnny Richter.
Tracks like: "Long Live the Kings", "Party Monsters", "Great When You're High", "Stomp", "Make it Rain" and "Checkmate" are highlights on the album, with the type of uptempo, party-all-the-time, head-boppers fans of the KMK's have come to expect.
Rip-Hop fans must pick this album up. And if you're not familiar with the Suburban Noize Family, than there's no better album to sample.
Also includes great solo tracks from Richter ("At It Again") and The Dirtball ("Mushrooms").
Keep an ear open for guest appearances by Tech N9ne and Big B.
"Still doin' their thing, still reigning supreme..."

The Kottonmouth Kings have definitely etched their place in history with this monumental album. As always, the album is pure Rip Hop, a blend of Hip Hop and Punk Rock. This album brings an incredible addition to the mix: The Dirtball has officially become a member of the Kings. He's been a solid performer on Subnoize for several years, but a lot of his work still goes without recognition, until now. His flows are so clean, that you'd have thought he was always one of the Kings. I've been a fan of his ever since I heard him on Tech N9ne's "Paint A Dark Picture." That song turned me onto his solo albums, and I suggest checking them out, the guy has real talent. His sound is a refreshing one, getting more and more technical with his flows as he matures as an artist. Aside from The Dirtball, the rest of the group are still bringing the fire with every verse. I can't say that I have a favorite song, but I have definitely been blasting the title track "Long Live The Kings" everywhere I go. Long Live the Kings has some of the hardest hitting tracks to date, from the band at the forefront of the legalization movement. No matter what genre you prefer, this album is guaranteed to have something you'll nod your head to. We can't call their music "underground" for much longer, because soon it will rise up and destroy the mainstream! LONG LIVE THE KOTTONMOUTH KINGS!

This is one of the KMK's best efforts with the addition of The Dirt Ball. Dirt Ball's skills are the BEST of the entire industry. This super strain of rip-hop is very sticky and very potent you will not be disappointed.

wow dis album cd is just great!!! nothing more to say cuz im speechless. nothing or a moment in this cd is boring even for a second,it's really pure hiphop rap entertainment from start of the cd to end of the cd,worth every single bit of ur penny or dollar guaranteed!!!!

I have been a KMK fan since Royal Highness, and I must say it will be hard for them to create something as good as Royal Highness again. Not that there isn't any good songs off this release, but nothing off this release will come as close as Bong Tokin' Alcoholics, Dogs Life, Bump, and Planet Budtron. I like all the songs from that album, but the ones I mentioned are the better.
Now on to Long Live The Kings. Songs that stuck out to me were:
Long Live The King
Stomp
Rampage
Dead N Gone
Kill The Pain
This release is good, but it will never be a Royal Highness. These are just my opinions, and I think because I don't smoke anymore kind of reflect my opinions too.

By far one of Kottonmouth's best cds point blank period. The addition of Dirtball has only made this group an even stronger force to be reckoned with. Lyrics tight, the beats knock. What more could ya ask for? The kings aint goin nowhere. STILL BLOWIN SMOKE RINGS!!

I recommend getting this album for your collection. This is a great album for all ya' budsmokers!!!

The best song on it is the first one... Like always. The single is always the best then the rest is just filler. The **** the Police song with ICP is unoriginal, and Shaggy isn't even on it.

Scary story about D-Loc. When he broke his ankle and was on crutches in 05, he took SO many pills and overdosed. It FRIED the mess out of his brain and he's been screwed ever since. You can tell, too. It's sad...

Overall, this album is more of the same. KMK are here to stay, this is something they have embedded in our brains from the start.
