Royal Highness, the debut album from Placentia, California's Kottonmouth Kings, came out on August 11, 1998, through Suburban Noize and Capitol, and it's a stoner's block party where hip-hop beats bump into punk snarl. Founded two years earlier by D-Loc and Saint Dog, the crew wore their pro-cannabis politics on their sleeves, and the weed talk here is anything but coded.
Front man Daddy X produced it and served as executive producer, sharing the board with Mellow B. De Lear, Marco Forcone, Dog Boy and I Timothy, across sessions at A&M Studios in Hollywood, Can-Am Recorders, the Ogden House and 1605 Studios in Huntington Beach. Too Rude and Humble Gods drop in as guests. Hollywood came calling, too: "Suburban Life" landed on the Scream 2 soundtrack and in the film itself, and "Dog's Life" showed up on the soundtrack to Lost and Found. "Bump" reached number 28 on the Modern Rock chart, and the album got to 17 on the Heatseekers list.
