Cypress Hill, Rise Up

Cypress Hill: Rise Up

by Amy Ounsted - Fleetwood Park Secondary, Surrey BC Jun 14, 2010

4 Stars

Old school grittiness with a modern twist.

Cypress Hill’s latest album Rise Up is a mixture of aggressive gritty rap tracks with rock and Latin influences. Featured artists such as Pitbull and Marc Anthony show the diversity and modern twist Cypress Hill is putting into its work. Energetic and visionary, this CD is raw aggressive hip-hop in its finest form. But be warned: this album is not for youngsters. It touches on issues such as illicit drugs, violence and freely incorporates swearing into each song, making it exciting, but inappropriate for those under 13.
