Dropout Kings - Yokai [CD]

In loving memory of the late Adam Ramey – the co‑founder, spirit, and powerful voice of DROPOUT KINGS – the band’s newest and most personal album, Yokai, dropped last Friday, August 8 to great acclaim and heartwarming messages of support from fans around the world. Now, fans can pre-order the album's limited physical variants, out November 7, 2025 via Napalm Records. Each format of Yokai is designed and curated to honor Adam's creative vision and unwavering passion. Together with the band, this release isn’t just a farewell – it’s a celebration of everything Adam stood for: creativity, connection, and the raw power of music. Available to pre-order today, new physical formats include a special edition green translucent vinyl variant limited to 200 copies worldwide, as well as CD digipak. Hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, DROPOUT KINGS fuse the raw energy of nu‑metal and rap, a synergy Adam helped forge from the very beginning. Just weeks before his tragic passing on May 19, 2025 at age 32, Adam completed the finishing touches on what he considered the band's most personal and powerful album to date. Yokai is more than an album – it’s a legacy. Across its tracks, the influence of Adam's dynamic stage presence and lyrical authenticity resonates profoundly. The album channels the same heart‑pounding aggression and rap‑rock fusion that brought hits like ""Virus"" to the Billboard Mainstream Rock Charts, but with an added emotional depth that can only come from one final shared chapter.
