Get ready to blast off with KG Kush, a strain that embodies the wild, genre-bending brilliance of King Garbage, the Asheville-based duo of Zach Cooper and Vic Dimotsis. Known for their Grammy-nominated production work with heavyweights like The Weekend, SZA, and Jon Batiste, King Garbage channels classic soul through a funky, psychedelic lens, creating music that’s equal parts gritty and uplifting. Their new single, “Higher Than,” is a perfect match for this strain, a cosmic collaboration with The Sunset Rises that captures their love for hip-hop, soul, and all things vibey. This strain is a love letter to their fans, designed to elevate your senses and keep the party rolling.
Born from the stellar genetics of First Impression x Hawaiian Bud, KG Kush is a hybrid that’s as dynamic as King Garbage’s discography. First Impression brings a juicy grape and citrus punch, with Colombian Gold’s uplifting zing and Granddaddy Purple’s berry-sweet chill. Hawaiian Bud, a tropical gem with origins in the islands, adds sweet pineapple and floral notes, creating a flavor profile that’s like sipping a fruity cocktail on a beach with a funky bassline. Expect a mouthwatering mix of grape bubblegum, tangy lemon, and pineapple breeze, with a skunky undertone that keeps it real.
The effects are pure King Garbage magic: a soaring, euphoric high that sparks creativity and gets you moving, ideal for jamming to “Higher Than” or freestyling with friends. As the vibe settles, a gentle relaxation washes over, keeping you in the groove without crashing the party. This strain will be truly versatile for daytime or evening sessions.
King Garbage’s journey, from their 2015 debut RECENT GARBAGE to their 2022 Ipecac release Heavy Metal Greasy Love, is all about blending soul, funk, and garage rock with a DIY ethos (King Garbage Bandcamp, Ipecac Recordings). Their recent remix collab with Dälek shows their love for hip-hop and soul, a spirit we’ve poured into this strain (dälek vs. King Garbage | Bandcamp). At The Sunset Rises, we’re hyped to partner with artists who live and breathe creativity. Higher Than KG Kush isn’t just cannabis—it’s a funky, soulful experience that connects you to King Garbage’s world. Spark it up, stream “Higher Than,” and let the good times roll.
