The release includes new 30th anniversary remixes of ‘How I Could Just Kill A Man’ and ‘Hand On The Pump’ from the Alchemist, Beat Butcha, and DJ Muggs.

Hits From The Bong, an official Cypress Hill documentary produced by Sony Music’s Premium Content Division and Mass Appeal will premiere on Showtime next year. Photographer and music video director Estevan Oriol is set to direct.

The anniversary celebration also include the release of the band’s first graphic novel, announced back in February. Cypress Hill: Tres Equis will map out the origin story of the LA rap group.

“Before they became icons, Louis and Senen were just a couple of teenage cholos from around the way, trying to stay out of trouble — until a series of chance encounters with both sides of the law changed their path forever,” a press release for the graphic novel reads.






Sen Dog added: “The story of Cypress Hill in a graphic novel is the perfect way to illustrate the time and place where the group was born.”
