Cypress Hill has announced the lineup for their annual Haunted Hill celebrations. This year features two California dates including Oakland and Los Angeles. Cypress Hill will be joined by Ozomatli and Onyx on Friday, October 27 at the Fox Theatre in Oakland while Trash Talk and Onyx will perform on Saturday, October 28 at The Novo in Los Angeles.
Haunted Hill returns this October for what are some of the most-anticipated shows of the year. This year seems to be a West Coast only Haunted Hill proceeding last year’s series which featured shows in NYC and Boston. Cypress Hill will be throwing it down with Ozomatli and Onyx in Oakland on October 27 before heading home to Los Angeles on October 28 with Trash Talk and Onyx. The South Gate-based group will also be making appearances at various music festivals this fall including Blue Ridge Rock Festival, Legalize Festival, Lima Music Fest, and more.
Three decades ago, B-Real, Sen Dog, and DJ Muggs sparked a trip that left popular culture stoned, stunned, and staggering in anticipation for more. Naming themselves after a local street in Los Angeles, Cypress Hill burst on the scene 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 public pro-marijuana stance earned them many fans among the alternative rock community. Cypress Hill followed their debut with Black Sunday in the summer of 1993, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top 200, garnered three Grammy Award nominations, and went triple platinum in the U.S. As a result, Cypress Hill became the first rap group to have two albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 charts at the same time and are the first Latino-American hip-hop group to achieve platinum and multi-platinum success. Since the release of Black Sunday, Cypress Hill have put out seven more albums including 2018’s critically acclaimed, Elephants on Acid. Cypress Hill made history once again in 2019 when the group was honored with their very own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 2021, Cypress Hill celebrate the 30th anniversary of their self-titled debut this year with a Sony reissue on vinyl, 7-inch box set, a reissue across all DSP’s that includes eight unreleased tracks, as well as a graphic novel and their very own Stance sock. Cypress Hill has also participated in various special celebrations of hip-hop’s 50th anniversary including releasing a “Fuck El Police” remix with Trueno.
