About
Cypress Hill, From South Gate to the West Coast rap forefront since 1988.
Cypress Hill emerged from South Gate, California in 1988, pioneering hip hop with a distinctive Latino infusion. Their sound encompasses gangsta rap, boom bap, and psychedelic rap elements, crossing into funk and soul territories. The original core members are B-Real, Sen Dog, and DJ Muggs, later joined by percussionist Eric Bobo in 1994.
The group’s vinyl discography features critically noted albums such as their self-titled 1991 release, the chart-topping "Black Sunday" (1993), and subsequent influential works through to live and remixed editions. Key vinyl pressings include original US and European releases, often limited editions or audiophile pressings. Their catalog showcases collaborations with rock acts and a consistent cannabis-legalization advocacy.
