Cypress Hill is a prominent rap music group (formed in 1988), which has sold 15 million records around the world. It is composed of members B-Real (Louis Freese or Freeze, Mexican/Cuban), Sen Dog (Senen Reyes, Cuban), DJ Muggs (Lawrence Muggerud, Italian-American) and, since 1994, percussionist Eric Bobo. Muggs, when asked about the new member, said: "As Latinos we thought it would be a good idea to build in some of this Latin Jazz Flavor."
The band played mainly to Latino audiences in Los Angeles and recorded early versions of songs such as the "Phuncky Feel One" and "Trigga Happy Nigga." In 1991, they signed to Philadelphia's Ruffhouse label with distribution by Columbia Records.
