Cypress Hill Tickets - New Album for Cypress Hill

After five years away from the hip-hop scene, Cypress Hill is back! The Latino hip-hop stars (the first of their kind) are making their comeback with a new album slated for a fall release on Suburban Noize Records. Cypress Hill's B-Real, who just delivered his debut solo record Smoke N Mirrors, recently told Billboard.com that the group is mixing the album right now, describing the forthcoming record as "gritty" and "aggressive." "It's like hip-hop straight-up. We just felt like we needed to go back to that raw, gritty hip-hop sound but try to find a way to bridge it with what's going on now," B-Real revealed, also telling Billboard.com that Cypress hill worked with Everlast, Evidence and The Alchemist on their as-yet-untitled album.

Since 2004's Til Death Do Us Part, the last Cypress Hill album, the group parted ways with their longtime label Columbia Records and each member of the group has been focusing on solo projects. B-Real's Smoke N Mirrors features Snoop Dogg, Damien Marley, Too $hort, Cypress Hill band mate Sen Dog, B-Real's protege Young De, Buckshot and Xzibit and boasts 15 songs. B-Real whittled down his repertoire of songs from 40 total, with the ones that didn't make it on the album appearing on three The Gunslinger mixtapes, which he released between 2005-2007. B-Real hinted that the members of Cypress Hill may showcase some of their solo work on tour so check online for Cypress Hill tickets.

Cypress Hill first came together in its original incarnation in 1986, when Cuban-born brothers Sen Dog and Mellow Man Ace teamed up with L.A. residents Muggs and B-Real to make an amalgam of Latin and hip-hop sounds like nothing that had ever been heard before. Mellow Man Ace left the group in 1988, around the time they christened themselves Cypress Hill after a local street, and they signed with Ruffhouse/Columbia in 1991. Cypress Hill's eponymous album debuted the following year and quickly became a success thanks to underground hits "How I Could Just Kill a Man" and "The Phuncky Feel One." It was also at this point that Cypress Hill established their vocal pro-marijuana stance.

In 1993 the group issued their sophomore release Black Sunday and broke into the mainstream with "Insane in the Brain." The album landed at number one on the Billboard charts yet somewhat confined Cypress Hill's fan base to white, collegiate suburbanites, thus losing some of their fans in the hip-hop community. In 1995 drummer Bobo joined the Cypress Hill lineup on tour for the fifth Lollapalooza and in the studio while they recorded their third album, the dark effort Temples of Boom. The album received mixed reviews upon its fall 1995 release and while it sold well it failed to generate any hit singles. Cypress Hill began to dissolve at this point, with Sen Dog leaving the band in 1996 and Muggs focusing on solo work in the interim.

Just when everyone thought Cypress Hill was no more, the group released IV in 1998 followed by the double-disc Skull & Bones two years later. The album featured rock and rap versions of "Superstar," which also yielded separate music videos featuring a cast of famous musicians from both camps. Stoned Raiders appeared in 2001 followed by Til Death Do Us Part in 2004. Hurry up and get your Cypress Hill tickets today!
