After more than two decades in the game most groups would be happy to simply lay back and coast on their reputation, but Cypress Hill's new album "Rise Up" is so far shaping up to be one of their most sonically adventurous efforts yet. Not only is "Armada Latina" one of my favorite Cypress cuts of all time (cue Kanye), but the album's title track "Rise Up" is an undeniably dope call to action from the chronically blunted, and politically active, L.A. crew. Don't believe me? Check out the hard rock inspired visuals. See more...
Longevity, integrity and compromise are hard things to maintain in the music industry. but don’t tell that to Cypress Hill. Selling over 18 million records and having a career spanning 3 decades, they are still going strong and preparing for the release of their upcoming eighth studio album "Rise Up" coming out on Priority Records. They’ve been able to achieve all of this while keeping their hard edge, rebellious attitude and bucking commercial trends; qualities that are evident in their hit video “Rock Superstar”.
Cypress Hill's been largely absent from the national stage for the last few years, but if the early momentum surrounding their upcoming album "Rise" is any indication, the boys from East L.A. are about to come back in a major way. First they dropped the dope lead single "It Ain't Nothin", and now they've flipped the script completely and dropped their new single "Armada Latina". A Jim Jonsin joint that expertly mixes hip-hop, salsa and meringue, "Armada Latina" is easily the most rhythmically moving joint of Cypress Hill's career. Listen and download...
B-Real, Sen Dog, Bobo and DJ Muggs are preparing to extend their more than a decade grip on the game with the release of their new album "Rise"; lucky for us, those preparations include teaming up with the L.A. Leakers for their new "Leakers of the Funk" mixtape. Containing some Cypress classics as well as a few exclusives off the new album, you don't need to be rolling through East L.A. high in a lowrider to enjoy "Leakers of the Funk", but it wouldn't hurt.

I was always a fan, but I didn't truly appreciate Cypress Hill until I moved to Los Angeles. A blend of cultures, heavily Latino, fearless yet fun, Cypress is the embodiment of the City of Angels, so every time I see some new Hill has made its way out into the world I jump on it like Oprah on a donut. I'm specifically talking about "It Ain't Nothin", the new single from the crew's upcoming album "Rise Up". Put on a bandana, pull out your six-foot bong and press play, it's Cypress Hill motherf*ckers. Listen and download...
