A little background info on this band.

After Cypress Hill lit up (pun intended, clearly) Los Angeles with their special appearance during a 2011 show by dubstep kingpin Rusko, it seems that the ever-blunted hip-hop pioneers might be going full wobble. Spring 2012 sees the release of the upcoming EP Cypress Hill X Rusko, a full-on collabo between the phunky feel ones and the wubby squeal one. The five-track EP merges their tireless championing of sticky icky icky with the beatmaker’s chest-caving party anthems; the artists having worked together in both the studio and over email, much like the Potsal Service [sic].

Our exclusive first taste “Roll It, Light It” is a surprisingly caffeinated ode to their favorite depressant; B-Real and Sen Dog throwing a full-on, bounce-a-riffic green party at a neck-breaking 140 bpm while Rusko provides the lighter. The EP comes in

Thanks, RB.

They've had a really long career ... 20 + years already with their debut back in 1991. I still have their first 2 albums on cassette ... and they've cemented their place in westcoast hiphop over the years.

Good to know Evan--I thought I should broaden my exposure a bit so I'm going to download it and add it to my collection.

Here's a catchy tune of theirs from recent years.

I played it for my dad last year and he really dug it as he's a big fan of Crosby, Stills & Nash ... and the song samples their tune  "Suite: Judy Blue Eyes"

C,S &N, now that I can relate to, lol!

RB - They're legends for sure (C, S & N) =)

BTW--thanks for the clips--I do like these guys. Who'd thunk it?

RB - Just be weary about the language/profanities. They are from hardcore roots and have been known for their weed-friendly, stoner rap and more dating back 20 years =).

Cypress Hill is a Cuban-American hip hop group from South Gate, California. Cypress Hill was the first Cuban-American/Latino hip-hop group to have platinum and multi-platinum albums, selling over 18 million albums worldwide. It is one of the most well-known groups in West Coast rap and was critically acclaimed for their first two groundbreaking albums.[1]

Here's one of their most popular songs to date ... back from 1993/1994 ... controversial subject matter ... and easily one of the best beats production-wise in hiphop in recent decades. Very popular song ... with B-Real's ever-recognizable nasal-e flow & delivery

Cypress Hill - "Hits From The Bong"
