About Cypress Hill

Formed in 1988 as DVX (Devastating Vocal Excellence), the group changed their name to Cypress Hill—after a street in South Gate, California—when founding member Mellow Man Ace departed for a solo career. The remaining trio of B-Real (Louis Freese), Sen Dog (Senen Reyes), and DJ Muggs (Lawrence Muggerud) signed with Ruffhouse/Columbia Records and released their groundbreaking self-titled debut in 1991. Percussionist Eric Bobo—son of legendary salsa musician Willie Bobo and former Beastie Boys touring member—joined the group in 1994.
