The Basement Kings started when Kaotic asked Swoop to get on a track with him for his mixtape...Neither one of them knew that the song would be an instant hit. They began promoting the song for the single to Kaotic's mixtape. They also didn't know that the people who held the power to get there music played would not help whatsoever. They took two copies of the cd to the radio station, they emailed the song to dj's, and they also sent cd's to dj's personal addresses. All these people asked them to do this, but didn't give them any love. So Kaotic and Swoop decided to form a label that would cater to the Underdog's of the industry. The Basement Kings is the name of their group together...their name came from them working with nearly no studio equip but making there music sound as if they had a whole studio...to be honest they were recording on a labtech computer mic and a wire hanger and a stocking cap and no one ever knew...they are the kings of making nothing into something....I Present to you...The Basement Kings!
