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.
So Cal Weather
Kingspade Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From spring to the summer to the middle of December
Never need a sweater cause it barely gets cold
I know you heard it all before but let the story be told
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
Spring to the summer to the middle of December
And in November we be harvesting trees
That's why So Cal life be the life for me
Yeh Johnny Richter I feel what ya sayin
Growin up in California a young punk skatin
With my pants always saggin' and my hat on sideways
Vans on my feet, you can catch me on the highway
People always ask me why me favorite day is Friday
Because when the weekend comes it's time to do it my way
I broke all the rules, I thought I was cool
I started smokin cigarettes and always ditched school
That's right as a kid it didn't get better
In the summer nights with the perfect weather
Not a cloud in the sky with a real nice breeze
Building houses and forts in the top of the trees
And I got a little older turned into a skateboarder
BMX is next, get a ditch double sess
Livin' average grown lifes I guess, more or less
Didn't worry about the future, never delt with the stress.
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
From spring to the summer to the middle of December
Never need a sweater cause it barely gets cold
I know you heard it all before but let the story be told
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
Spring to the summer to the middle of December
And in November we be harvesting trees
That's why So Cal life be the life for me
Now we got a lot love for the west
And at the home shows they be rockin it the best
Now we about to rep, we about to break it down
Different area codes startin with P-Town
714 and the 310
OC to LA it be full of hoes
818 and the 213
Plus the 619 they got the bomb weed
562 and the 949
Down to the 805 we runnin down the line
And in the 909 everything's always fine
There's nothin better than a day of California sunshine
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
From spring to the summer to the middle of December
Never need a sweater cause it barely gets cold
I know you heard it all before but let the story be told
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
Spring to the summer to the middle of December
And in November we be harvesting trees
That's why So Cal life be the life for me
It's another beautiful day in paradise
Wake up around 10 adjust my eye sight
I look to my right and to no surprise
I got a Californa queen sleepin by my side
She's about 5'5, with a body of a queen
Type of girl ya keep around it ain't no 1 night fling
And me being a king it seems the perfect match,
Seein how in Californa things just happen like that
When I first saw her face I looked into her eyes
She had a beautiful smile and a sexy vibe
With a little sassyness I was diggin her scene
She was dressed real cute with some tight blue jeans
So we got to chat and rolled up a blunt
We both had the munchies so I bought her some lunch
Come to find out we had a lot in common
We both had tat's and loved the southern Cali fun
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
From spring to the summer to the middle of December
Never need a sweater cause it barely gets cold
I know you heard it all before but let the story be told
Ain't nothin better then southern Cali weather
Spring to the summer to the middle of December
And in November we be harvesting trees
That's why So Cal life be the life for me

The lyrics to Kingspade's song So Cal Weather pay tribute to the beautiful climate of Southern California. The song highlights the fact that there's nothing better than the weather in Southern California which stays pleasant through most of the year, with temperatures rarely dropping low enough to require a sweater. The song also talks about the experience of growing up in the region, with references to punk skating, sagging pants, hats worn sideways, and vans footwear that were popular in the region. The lyrics also highlight the Southern California lifestyle which is all about living life on your own terms and enjoying the sun, with lazy weekends spent building forts on top of trees, skateboarding, BMXing, and taking it easy.
The song has a relatively light and upbeat tempo, reflecting the sun-kissed vibe of Southern California, and the lyrics are packed with references to other localities in the region, such as P-Town, the 714, and 310 area codes, OC, LA, and the 619. The song also references the local weed culture, which is deeply enmeshed in Southern California's cultural identity, with the 619 being cited as the provider of 'bomb weed.'
The song has become hugely popular in Southern California and is widely considered an ode to the region's weather and lifestyle. The song's popularity is also driven by the catchy beat and sing-along-worthy lyrics that make it an ideal party anthem.
