Knock knock! Who’s there? Suburban Noize Records have sent us a few albums hot off the press, so we thought we would give them a listen, and share with you all what we found.

Kottonmouth Kings “The Green Album”
Psychedelic Hip-Hop Punk Rock has no entered a new era with the release of the Kottonmouth Kings tenth studio album, “The Green Album”. Kottonmouth Kings have already hit the well deserved number 1 spot on the Independent Billboard Charts with what could be their most memorable album to date.

Daddy X, Johnny Richter and D-loc, the vocalist of the group, are still ‘on fire’ with this release, with inspiring content which goes through experiences they have had growing up, to their own take on the current state of the world. Musically, the Kottonmouth Kings have absolutely mastered their own unique style in “The Green Album”, with the perfect mixture of punk rock and hip-hip, from upbeat kegger party music to laid back melody’s to smoke your weed to.

The Album Art is very organic, with some pretty amazing photos of crops to make your taste buds leap out of your mouth.

Having been a fan of Kottonmouth Kings for many years now, it’s so damn good to see they boys can’t be stopped after going over 13 years strong. If you are a fan of the Kottonies, get your hands on the album and you will know what I’m talking about. If you are just learning about Kottonmouth now, this could very well be the album you fall in love with over the holiday season.

My track picks are “Blaze Of Glory”, “Where I’m Going?” and “So Cal”. But don’t get me wrong, this is one of those rare albums where you can listen through the entire thing and love every minute.

OPM “Golden State Of Mind”
The Californian reggae rockers OPM are back with their fourth album since their debut Menace to Sobriety in 2000.

Suburban Noize Records recently sent us their newest album Golden State of Mind and well, it’s golden! Take a mixing bowl and add a spoonful of Reggae, half a cup of Rap and a dash of Rock then stir well. The outcome? OPM buddy!

With tracks like ‘Dirty White’ featuring Big B how could you lose? I’ve got it blasting in the office right now and it defiantly has some great variety. There are one or two tracks that I didn’t really feel but most albums I own are like that.

If you liked OPM before this is a must have. If you haven’t heard them before in Australia and your looking for something fresh with dope lyrics and rad beats, it’s a no brainier, pick up Golden State of Mind today, turn it up, and just chill with a nicely rolled fatty.
