Cover Art: Cypress Hill - Rise Up



On April 6th we're gonna get this....

It's album numero ocho for the Latin brothas that hail from the South Gate area of Los Angeles and their first on Priorty/EMI...If you can believe it, this LP marks the 22nd year that Bobo, B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs have been making music. Wow...time flies kids...time flies...

The tracklist has already leaked to the net and to me the clear highlights we're gonna get seem to be the 2 (yes, only 2) Muggs co-produced tracks, the Pete Rock produced gem "Light It Up" and the guest spot of former Rage Against The Machine/Audio Slave guitarist Tom Morello on "Shut 'Em Down"...

On the other hand there are some clearly suspect themes I noticed just glancing through the tracklisting as well, namely B-Real handling the bulk of the production and the recruitment of Pitbull and Marc Anthony for a song. I could say something about southern beatmaker Jim Jonsin being on here being a bit troubling too, but we'll see what he comes with.
