Cypress Hill

Cypress Hill is an American hip hop group from South Gate, California, formed in 1988. They have sold over 20 million albums worldwide, and they have obtained multi-platinum and platinum certifications. The group has been critically acclaimed for their first five albums. They are considered to be among the main progenitors of West Coast and 1990s hip hop. All of the group members advocate for medical and recreational use of cannabis in the United States. In 2019, Cypress Hill became the first hip hop group to have a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
==Links to Peel==
Peel played the group's debut single, 'The Phuncky Feel One' in August 1991. He would also play their track, 'I Love You Mary Jane', which was a collaboration with Sonic Youth for the film soundtrack of Judgment Night. 
On his 26 August 1994 show, Peel provided an example of a Cypress Hill bass, where the tune launched into a string of expletives, before he cut it off, describing to listeners: ‘Well there you go. Thank you. That’s your ration of rude words for the time being’.
In 1999, Steve Lamacq, used Cypress Hill's big hit, 'Insane In The Brain', as part of his DJ mix, before Peel did his own set on their 24 June 1999 show.
