Kingspade debuted with the track "The Adventures of This" on the Subnoize Rats Compilation in 2003. One year later the Kottonmouth Kings' sixth full-length album Fire It Up was released, including two bonus tracks. One of these was a new Kingspade track entitled "High Riders". On this track it was announced that a Kingspade album was to be released later that year.
In the summer of 2004, the highly anticipated Kingspade debut album was released. This album included the hits "Drunk in the Club" and the previously released "High Riders". Following this release came some touring until they started to work on the next Kottonmouth Kings album. Over the next few years not much was heard from Kingspade other than a few shows here and there.
In 2005, the Kottonmouth Kings released the album Joint Venture, which featured two new Kingspade tracks. Also included was an advertisement stating that a new Kingspade album would be released in June 2006. Promotion was also brought upon with in ad included in the Kottonmouth Kings' fourteenth official album, Koast II Koast, stating the release would come in the late summer of 2006. This information turned out to be false. Nothing was heard of the album or Kingspade for months until the release of Kottonmouth Kings' Hidden Stash III, which included a new Kingspade track entitled "That's How It Goes". A few months later, it was announced that Kingspade would be performing on Kottonmouth Kings' The Joint is on Fire Tour. It was also stated that Kingspade's second release, P.T.B., would be released on April 24, 2007.
Following the release of P.T.B., Kingspade headlined their own tour, accompanied by California-natives 1Ton and UnderRated, who make up the music group Potluck.
Kingspade then rejoined the Kottonmouth Kings on their StrangeNoize Tour. This tour included Tech N9ne, Hed PE, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and SubNoize Souljaz. Special appearances included the Insane Clown Posse, Cypress Hill and Ill Bill of La Coka Nostra. The tour was to celebrate the Kottonmouth Kings' ninth full-length album, Cloud Nine.
They had three tours in the state of Texas, and got into some trouble with authorities there. D-loc would not give a lot of information on this topic, but Richter said this, "Me and D was just rhymin... after the show we headed out to the cars, not knowing that police would be waiting for us. One of the girls that were at the concert had gotten hit by the falling speaker me and D were playin with."
In March 2013 it was announced by Daddy X that KMK was leaving SubNoize and starting up a new label. A few days after the announcement, it was found out that the label would be called United Family Music. In October 2013 Johnny Richter announced via Twitter that he was officially no longer apart of Kottonmouth Kings. He also stated in his comments that he was unsure if he'd continue with music. This instantly conjured bad blood on both sides, with both sides stating "I won't work with them/him again", and simultaneously putting Kingspade on hiatus. In December 2013 he released his second overall solo album titled FreeKing Out EP on SubNoize. D-Loc released a solo album titled Bong Tokes & Love Notes EP in December 2013. Kottonmouth Kings released their first album without Johnny Richter since 1999 with the CD Buddah Shack EP. The group would go on to release one final studio album titled Krown Power on August 28, 2015.
On December 2, 2017 via Instagram, a picture was uploaded showing D-Loc and Johnny Richter reunited and possibly hinting at something happening with the group, as well as a Kingspade Instagram account launching, and an announcement from D-Loc saying he was putting together a documentary on how the group was formed, the career of the group, and the current status of the group.[1] It has some fans saying that the 2 are only together for the documentary and nothing more, to fans hopeful of a classic KMK lineup (D-Loc, Daddy X, Jonny Richter, [and later] The Dirtball) album and final tour.
Dreams
Kingspade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yeah when I grow up
Just a young buck growing up living fast
18 years old know it all on the gas
Big dreams of being a superstar
Having nice things and
A pocket full of cash
Whatevers gunna make my life better if it last
Big house, nice cars, nice brawl
You know every kids dream as so it seems
I mean come on now people all around doing big things
Best friends getting rich
Neighbors turn athletes, clothing companies, million dollar factories
Actually everybody say it with me
If you really want to be you could be what you wanna be
That's the life if it just gets tight
Work hard and you could be a role model
Let's do it
[Chorus]
One day when I'm older
(Im'ma buy a thousand houses and drive a thousand cars)
Yeah when I grow up
(Im'ma play point guard for the NBA)
One day when I'm older
(Im'ma fly a airplane and go around the world)
Yeah when I grow up
Yeah you'll see every kid has a dream
When I was just a young buck in the single digits
I had too many thoughts on life and how to live it
So many dreams and different things I wanted to be
But that's what you'll be young and freedom of dream
I remember I wanted to be a fireman
So I can help people out around the sirens
Next day played football between streets knots
Next day wake up imam be your next doc
Cram through the air and hold up the dirt
Keeping up playing if it didn't even hurt
Riding home with my knee and elbow making blood
Know I wanna see moms imam get a lot of love
Never ever know what's up in national news
Only thing you worry about is the school lunch menus
Eating all the places and being captain of the team
First ten years of life is a beautiful thing
[Chorus]
You see me making moves, and 1, and 2
3, 4's never no time to sleep
Ricky and mommy living the dream caught now
That's what its gonna be
I never know nothin' else and
I never finished school but
I'm smarter then the average bigs and that's boo boo
Dreams do come true
A living proof 'cause I'm making money
Doing what I love to do
Dreams come true
Yeah dreams come true
Yeah you'll see every kid has a dream
I said dreams come true
Dreams come true
Yeah you'll see every kid has a dream
[Chorus: x2]
