Kottonmouth Kings MC Saint Dog Pronounced Dead At 44

One of the founding members of legendary Southern California rap group Kottonmouth Kings has passed away, TMZ reports. Police said Steven Thronson, better known as Saint Dog, was found dead in Victorville, Ca on Wednesday morning. The rapper was at a friend’s house at the time. Authorities said his friend found him struggling for air in one of the rooms and immediately called 911. Police pronounced Saint Dog dead once they arrived at the scene.

A toxicology report and autopsy are pending, therefore there isn’t a confirmed cause of death. Police said that they didn’t discover any obvious sign that there was any foul play involved in Saint Dog’s death. Saint Dog was 44.

Saint Dog, alongside D-Loc and Johnny Richter, founded Kottonmouth Kings in Orange County. He appeared on the group’s first four albums before doing solo, though he would later collaborate with his former group.

“Anyone that knew Steve saw what a big heart he had. Some of my fondest memories was watching Steve stop the music in the middle of a Kottonmouth Kings show to bring a handicapped fan in a wheelchair on stage so that he could have a better view of the show and even join in singing a few songs. That was just the kind of person Steve was and he touched so many people in a positive way,” Kevin Zinger, exec at Suburban Noize Records, said. “His legacy will live on in his music and our hearts go out to his Son Max and his entire family, friends, and fans worldwide.”

NNORDY

 

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
