About Cypress Hill
Cypress Hill is an American hip hop group from South Gate, California. Cypress Hill was the first latino group to have platinum and multi-platinum albums and one of the first rap groups to gain a following with fans of alternative and hard rock music. The band was originally called DVX, but the name was changed after Mellow Man Ace left in 1988. Their first album, which was self-titled, was released in August 1991. Its single was "Phuncky Feel One," but it was the B-side "How I Could Just Kill A Man" (formerly "Trigga Happy Nigga") that attracted more airplay on urban radio and college radio.
LMFM Says:
Cypress Hill have sold over 17 million records - many of these have ended up in the hands of people who may not have counted themselves as Hip Hop fans. Cypress Hill appeal to many an alternative music lover. The attraction is generated by the famous call and response between B-Real and Sen Dog coupled with the masterful production by Mixmaster Muggs. It's the schnitzel players!
