Cypress Hill

Cypress Hill are an American hip hop group formed in 1988, known for dark, sample-based production and the distinctive high, nasal vocal delivery of lead MC B-Real. Their sound blends West Coast rap with psychedelic and Latin-influenced rhythms, anchored by DJ Muggs' brooding beats and turntablism. Lyrically they often reference urban life and cannabis culture, and they have crossed into rock and alternative scenes through collaborations and live performances that include heavier guitar textures.
