We're trying to keep it positive and keep smiles on all of the people's faces. There's no karaoke or anything, just what we're rapping is what we're doing. We're just up there killing it for an hour-plus of straight hip-hop. What can we expect with your solo performance? ![]() Everybody that comes is having a blast, and has been really receptive to everything. We've been hit with some crazy weather, though! It's been good, we're just having fun with it. No tickets, no anything, and all of our pipes intact.īesides that run-in, how has the audience reaction been to your show? None of the guys wanted to do anything as far as the cops, so they just let us go. They searched the RV, and found like an ounce-and-a-half and some pipes and shit.

However, Up on the Sun took advantage of the opportunity to speak with Richter prior to his solo performance at Red Owl in Tempe on December 15, and asked him about his future, his EP, and to shed some light on KMK. The full story behind the scenes of KMK may never be known. Most notably, however, have been the accusations by Richter's former band members themselves.

The short and sweet five-track EP delivers the vintage Richter sound that carried the Kottonmouth Kings to fame, but there is something different about this collection of songs. ![]() After unexpectedly leaving KMK in mid-October, Richter hit the ground running with a rejuvenated solo career and a new EP, FreeKING Out, set for release December 17.
