Welcome to Singled Out! where we ask artists to tell us the inside story of their latest single. The Kottonmouth Kings return with their brand new album "Long Live the Kings" which hits stores this week. To celebrate two members of the group have picked their favorite songs from the effort and will tell us a little bit about each one. Today we hear from The Dirtball who tells us about the song "Kill the Pain": The song "Kill the Pain", off of our upcoming record, Long Live the Kings, is my choice, due to the fact that it is an example of writers coming together and their unifying experiences to create a track that takes on a life of its own.
A fabulous producer, Jim Perkins, came to the studio and created the bed of the track with us, which became such an organic and mellow vibe. We all took the song's name, marinated on its meanings to us, and laid our verses. Each individual has their own take on what this song means, but combined, it made for a real heartfelt masterpiece. Can the white rappers sing? Why yes they can!
Time will definitely kill any pain in this life, and this track will allow the listener the chance to reflect on their own experiences within it. Not only a great concept, but an awesome addition to the arsenal of bangers surrounding it on the record. Long Live the Kings!!!
Hearing is believing. Now that you know the story behind the song, listen for yourself and learn more about the album - right here!
