After more than a decade of being an MC for Orange County’s Kottonmouth Kings, Johnny Richter has set forth to rule his own kingdom as a solo artist.

Richter started crafting some rhymes for what would become his new solo release, “FreeKING Out,” and he’s bringing it to Mission Tobacco lounge in Riverside on Friday, Jan. 17.

The EP is full of his real-life experiences, not all of them pretty.

Supporting him will be Mira Loma’s West of Mainstream and Redlands-based favorites 100 Proof.

9 p.m. Friday, Jan. 17, Mission Tobacco Lounge, 3630 University Ave., Riverside, $10, 21 and older only.
