Three decades ago B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs unleashed a musical journey that left popular culture bewildered, stunned and full of anticipation. Cypress Hill, named after a street in Los Angeles, broke through in 1991 with the release of their self-titled debut album. The singles How I Could Just Kill a Man and The Phuncky Feel One became underground hits and the group's open support for cannabis earned them many fans within the alternative rock scene. On Wednesday 17 June the group returns to the Netherlands for a performance at AFAS Live.

After their debut, Cypress Hill released Black Sunday in the summer of 1993, which debuted at number 1 on the Billboard Top 200, earned three GRAMMY Award nominations and achieved triple platinum in the US. That made Cypress Hill the first rap group with two albums simultaneously in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart and the first Latin American hip hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum success. Since the release of Black Sunday, Cypress Hill has released seven more albums, including the critically acclaimed Elephants on Acid from 2018.

Cypress Hill made history again in 2019 when the group received their own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2021 Cypress Hill released Champion Sound. The single, produced by Black Milk, is on the soundtrack of R.B.I. Baseball 21 and is also the song at the center of the band's collaboration with Montejo Cerveza. In 2021 Cypress Hill also celebrated the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut album with a vinyl reissue by SONY, a 7-inch boxset, a reissue on all digital platforms with eight previously unreleased songs, a graphic novel and their own STANCE sock.

The quartet also stayed busier than ever in 2022. On 18 March 2022 the band released Back In Black, which received praise. In their review of the album Kerrang declared that it confirms their status as a collective that is still building on their legacy. On 20 April 2022 Cypress Hill released their documentary Insane in the Brain, which is part of Mass Appeal's Hip Hop 50 series in collaboration with Showtime. At release the New York Times called the documentary an often fascinating chronicle of the group, while Variety stated that the Cypress Hill documentary should put their all-encompassing influence and groundbreaking, Latin American-tinged hip hop, blended with powerful metal rock, into perspective.

On 10 July 2024 Cypress Hill again wrote pop culture history with a historic performance together with the London Symphony Orchestra in the Royal Albert Hall. The collaboration, which had been predicted 28 years earlier in an episode of The Simpsons, became reality during a sold-out, one-off event in which their acclaimed album Black Sunday was combined with an unforgettable classical crossover. Several publications called it a piece of hip hop history, and Louder Sound noted that the group sets an entirely new standard for crossover.
