La Coka Nostra

To our canadian fans and supporters,It is with deep regrets that the Kottonmouth Kings will have to postpone The jan/feb leg of the canadian tour that is booked.

The Kings have been attempting to get back into canada for a decade,We have had issues getting work visas and passport clearance to come into your great country.We have worked with a Clearance agency in the States to get clearance and we are still waiting on answer for Johnny Richter due to recent legal issues.They have assured us that He will be cleared to enter but at this point jan 5th 2012 we still do not have 100% clarity and do not want to take the chance without it.

The kings are in the studio recording a Summer full length & a Greatest hits record. We have a Usa spring tour booked&And a full time schedule to meet release deadlines. Our apologies go out to any promoters or agents that have worked hard on booking Kmk in Canada, We also would like to extend a sincere amount of gratitude to our labelmates Swollen members for inviting Kmk to tour Their Home country together… We hope we can reschedule A kmk tour for June 2012 if the invite still stands… We look forward to Playing shows for our loyal canadian fans. .Once again The Kings are postponing our jan/feb canadian tour…

Respectfully Brad X & The Kottonmouth Kings

We are very pleased to announce that we have managed to replace Kotton Mouth Kings with a greater Valued Artist to stand alongside SWOLLEN MEMBERS on this Tour.

LA COKA Nostra:

Founded in late 2005 with no intention to record an album, La Coka Nostra was more a loose collective of artists connected through Danny Boy than a group. Having taken time off from rap after the break-up of House of Pain, Danny Boy took to working in video production and fashion as well as mentoring other artists. He met Slaine in Boston and, impressed with his writing, brought him to L.A. to record some tracks. Eventually it turned into more of a group effort including the former members of House of Pain and Ill Bill, as well as associates from Psycho Realm, Special Teamz and others. It was not until early 2006 that the current line up solidified, plans to release an album were first voiced later the same year.
In late 2008 the group signed to Suburban Noize Records and released the long delayed debut album A Brand You Can Trust on July 14, 2009. The album took so long to complete due to Danny Boy’s refusal to have the members collaborate via e-mail; instead, he would gather everyone at the studio. This took time due to the recording of Ill Bill and Everlast’s solo albums as well as various tours and other commitments. A Brand You Can Trust features 15 tracks and guest spots from Snoop Dogg, Bun B, Sick Jacken, B-Real, Sen Dog, Immortal Technique, Big Left and Q-Unique. Though similar stylistically to the group’s prior online releases, it features songs grounded more in reality. Some subjects touched upon include politics, death, drug addiction, raising a child and terrorism. It has been stated by Slaine that the group is working on their second full length release and that it is set to come out sometime in 2012.
