Cypress Hill is an American hip-hop group from South Gate, California, that has been influential in the industry since their formation in 1988. Notoriously known for their stoner persona and the advocacy of cannabis culture, the group consists of rapper B-Real, DJ and producer DJ Muggs, rapper Sen Dog, and percussionist Eric Bobo. With a sound that fuses Latin, funk, rock, and hip-hop elements, Cypress Hill is celebrated for pioneering West Coast rap and creating a distinctive, eerie, and bass-heavy sound that has resonated with fans for over three decades.

The group's eponymous debut album, "Cypress Hill" (1991), catapulted them to fame with hits like "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and "Hand On The Pump." They continued to build on that success with their seminal sophomore record, "Black Sunday" (1993), which included the iconic single "Insane in the Brain." Cypress Hill has stayed relevant through the years, exemplifying their versatility and innovation with recent releases like "Back in Black," and fresh takes on their classics in "Hand On The Pump (DJ Muggs 2021 Remix)" and "How I Could Just Kill a Man (The Alchemist x Beat Butcha Remix)." The enduring respect for their artistry is reflected in their continued relevance in the scene, evident in projects like "FUCK EL POLICE (REMIX)" and "REPPIN THE CITY (LAFC)." Cypress Hill's persistence in pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, while remaining true to their roots, has cemented them as icons in the genre.
