I may not be old in comparison to the average American, but in hip-hop's youth-fetishizing culture I may as well be playing bocce and eating pureed prunes. And like all old people if there's anything I don't like, it's change. So yes, I am a little freaked out to hear Cypress Hill joining the dubstep movement on new release "Roll It, Light It".

What's the only thing better than Cypress Hill? That's right, more Cypress Hill. That's why I decided to temporarily dedicate give RefinedHype over to a big motherloving Block of Cypress Hill. Bringing up the anchor spot is the darkly banging "Get Higher", a track that, incredibly, isn't really about weed, at least by Cypress Hill standards. Don't worry, I'm sure they're still bringing out that six foot bongs onstage during shows, but "Rise Up" so far sounds like it's relatively sober. Listen and download...

Produced by Shinoda as well - hence the live instrument feel - "Carry Me Away" is one of the most honest and autobiographical tracks in Cypress Hill history. Listen and download...
