Release archive: October 28, 2008 album listing; October 13, 2009 single edition. Kottonmouth Kings’ “High Hopes” appears in two dated Apple Music release contexts. The song page for The Green Album (Deluxe Edition) carries October 28, 2008.
The later single listing
Apple’s standalone High Hopes single is dated October 13, 2009. It credits Kottonmouth Kings and displays a 2009 Kingmaker Online phonographic notice.
Reading the dates without merging editions
The 2009 single date should not replace the earlier album-context date in a release history. The links identify separate catalog entries; those entries alone do not prove whether the audio masters are identical.
This profile records the dates as displayed and supplies both listening references. The single’s notice is an edition-level catalog credit, not evidence of a new signing or ownership of every version of the song.
Publisher disclosure: This publication and Kingmaker share business affiliations.
