Cypress Hill
Cypress Hill came out of South Gate, in Los Angeles County, with a sound all their own: DJ Muggs' murky, haunted loops, built from dusty funk and rock samples, with B-Real's nasal, high-pitched flow cutting across Sen Dog's gruff, bilingual barks.
Their 1991 debut gave them 'How I Could Just Kill a Man', and Black Sunday entered the US charts at number one on the back of 'Insane in the Brain', making them one of the first Latino hip hop acts to sell in such numbers. Later records pushed towards rock, with Skull & Bones splitting its songs between rap and heavy guitars.
