When we last caught up with Cypress Hill, a group that could politely be described as rabble-rousing or antiauthoritarian, they seemed to have mellowed, performing in the video for Marc Anthony and the Pitbull-assisted video for the single "Armada Latina."
One video later and the rappers seem to have gotten all that mellow out of their system, returning with "Rise Up," from the album of the same name. This deeply funky track features Tom Morello adding some of his trademark "chicken scratch gone metal" guitar lines. The end product is not unlike something you might hear from Morello's outfit, Rage Against The Machine.
Check out the video below. "Rise Up" is out now.
