About
Cypress Hill recently performed a memorable Tiny Desk concert at NPR headquarters, showcasing their legendary status as pioneers in the hip-hop genre. The group, consisting of B-Real, Sen Dog, and DJ Muggs, is known for their dark, psychedelic sound that transcended regional boundaries in the '90s. Despite being initially labeled as "stoner rappers," Cypress Hill addressed mental health topics before they were mainstream and advocated for the legalization of marijuana.
During the performance, Cypress Hill delivered renditions of their iconic songs, embodying their unique style and energetic presence. Their impact over the past three decades is evident through achievements like being the first Latino hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum status. With over 20 million albums sold worldwide and critical acclaim for their early works, Cypress Hill remains a significant contributor to West Coast hip-hop and 1990s hip-hop. In 2019, the group made history by becoming the first hip-hop group to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, solidifying their legacy in the music industry.
