Cypress Hill

Three decades ago, B-Real, Sen Dog, and DJ Muggs ignited a movement that reshaped popular culture. Named after a Los Angeles street near where they grew up, Cypress Hill burst onto the scene in 1991 with their self-titled debut, delivering underground hits like “How I Could Just Kill a Man” and “The Phuncky Feel One.” Their outspoken pro-marijuana stance quickly earned them a devoted alternative-rock following and helped cement their status as cultural icons.

Their second album, Black Sunday (1993), debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, earned three GRAMMY® nominations and went triple-platinum in the U.S. — making Cypress Hill the first rap group to have two albums in the Billboard Top 10 simultaneously, and the first Latino-American hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum status.

Since then, the group has released seven additional albums, including 2018’s critically acclaimed Elephants on Acid, and in 2019, they were honored with their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2021, they celebrated the 30th anniversary of their debut with special vinyl reissues, unreleased tracks, a graphic novel and more, while their single “Champion Sound” featured prominently in gaming and brand partnerships.
In 2022, Cypress Hill returned with Back in Black, praised by critics for expanding their legacy, and released their Showtime documentary Insane in the Brain, part of the Hip Hop 50 franchise. In July 2024, they made pop-culture history yet again, performing a sold-out, one-night-only show with the London Symphony Orchestra at the Royal Albert Hall — a crossover event inspired by The Simpsons nearly three decades earlier, hailed as “hip-hop history” and “a new standard for crossover.”

True pioneers with an unshakable legacy, Cypress Hill remain one of the most influential and genre-blending forces in music
