Cypress Hill in Santiago

Cypress Hill is an American hip-hop group formed in South Gate, California, in 1988. Their self-titled debut and the album Black Sunday established a sound built around DJ Muggs’s production, B-Real’s nasal delivery and Sen Dog’s forceful vocals. “Insane in the Brain,” “How I Could Just Kill a Man” and “Hits from the Bong” became signature tracks, while later records brought rap-rock into the group’s catalogue. At Woodstock ’94, Cypress Hill performed for the festival’s Saturday crowd during a period of extensive touring. They launched the Smokeout festival in Southern California in 1998, programming hip-hop and rock on the same event. The group joined Slipknot and Ho99o9 on the 2022 Knotfest Roadshow, then presented Black Sunday in full alongside the London Symphony Orchestra at Royal Albert Hall in 2024.
