“Being around him is just like any cousin, we just cool, that’s Big Cousin. He raised us and I was always around the house and in the streets with him. We’d go to vacations together, we would shoot dice together, so to me he’s my family like that – he’s cousin, he’s not just E-40,” King Hot explained.

Any one asking for a DNA test need only take one glance at King Hot to see he bears a striking resemblance to his cousin 40. But despite the often mentioned resemblance,  King Hot is determined to carve out his own path in the game with his music.

“I got started when was in a group called the DB’z during the Hyphy movement when I was a lot younger, but since then I’ve released a lot of music,” King Hot said. “The March Madness project hosted by DJ Carisma was a big project for me and really did well for me with features from Nef the Pharaoh, Cousin Fik, Philthy Rich and of course E-40.”
