IV

Cypress Hill

Murky, reverb-drenched street noir that trades their earlier cartoonish energy for a heavier, more cynical psychedelic grit. Dark West Coast hip-hop at its peak.

October 6, 1998 · Sony Music Entertainment

Find on Amazon

A heavy, paranoid urban crawl that feels both menacing and deeply atmospheric.

Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic mariachi horns on Tequila Sunrise that feel like a dusty border-town fever dream.
B-Real adopting a weary, cynical persona to rap from the perspective of a corrupt cop on the opening track.
The jarring, aggressive transition into Riot Starter where the production leans into heavy, distorted rock energy.

How does IV sound next to the rest of Cypress Hill's catalogue?

Reverb Heavy+1.1σ

The production is pushed notably harder into reverb heavy than this artist usually allows.
