Makin' Funky Music is a Must

About Me

King Otis originated in the spring of '05 in Memphis, TN. Initially a provocative instrumental trio, the group recognized the chemistry and a truly original sound began to take shape. Soon the group added one of Memphis' finest up and coming emcees, Taktix, to the mix. Self-described as a Hip hop, experimental, funk hybrid, King Otis emphasizes uncomprimising musicianship, grooves, innovative compositions, and fresh party jams.
