The trio composed of B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs really changed the game when they released their first album back in 1991, the eponymous “Cypress Hill”. They find a way to have a monster smash album (2x platinum) while keeping a hardcore sound as much with the lyrics than on the beat tip. The dusty sample heavy production style of DJ Muggs combined with the unique nasal sounding flow of B-Real really created a special combo that propelled them on top of the charts. Classics like “How I Could Just Kill a Man” or “Hand On The Pump” stand the test of time and still sound fresh 30 years later. It might be because of their love of marijuana, exposed across the album, and/or the aggressive energy in the music, but they wind-up crossing over to the punk-rock scene which helped them gain a bigger audience.
