Cypress Hill are the hazy, menacing pioneers who turned stoned West Coast hip-hop into a global phenomenon and became the first Latino rap group to reach platinum sales. Formed in South Gate, Los Angeles, the crew paired two unmistakable voices — B-Real's high, nasal, sing-song snarl and Sen Dog's deep, barking gravel — over the murky, psychedelic production of DJ Muggs, who built beats from dusty funk loops, eerie squealing samples and heavy, blunted low-end. Their 1991 self-titled debut and 1993's Black Sunday turned underground grit into mainstream hits like 'Insane in the Brain', 'How I Could Just Kill a Man' and 'Hits from the Bong', fusing horror-movie atmosphere, cannabis mythology and hard streetwise attitude. Equally at home on rap bills and rock festivals, they helped bridge hip-hop and alternative culture throughout the 1990s. Their sound is instantly recognizable: smoky, hypnotic and paranoid, with a swaggering menace under the haze. For anyone chasing dusty boom-bap drums, wobbling funk samples and that signature blunted, nasal delivery, Cypress Hill remain the definitive template of psychedelic West Coast rap.
