[First Listen] Cypress Hill Goes DubStep With Help From DJ Rusko In “Roll It, Light It”

Cypress Hill and Rusko are set to perform at this year's Smokeout Festival

Today, Stryker debuted Cypress Hill‘s latest musical endeavor. In a huge departure from their trademark Cypress Hill sound, the band teamed up with world-renowned Dubstep producer, DJ Rusko.

With a 5-track E.P. titled Cypress Hill X Rusko hitting stores this April, the band appears to be 100% committed to this new sound. One of the tracks overheard pounding from within KROQ’s Music Department featured vocals from a heavily auto-tuned Damian Marley. Expect the unexpected from this band.

The first track leaked, titled Roll It, Light It is dense and futuristic yet stays grounded via B Real and Sen Dog’s rather green leafy-inspired lyrics.

Verse 1

You want a hit of that fat sack
Better come with a fat stack
Or you might get rat pack
Blow smoke in your face when I’m in the place
Feel the bass girl shakin that ass, jack
Got the club jumpin off
What you puffin on
While I pump the song
Get a clue
Girls get on the floor when we come in the door
Let me show you how we do
Ya we go for the gusto
Made a call to Rusko
Now you’re feelin that rush yo
Hit that spliff and blaze that blunt
Don’t look at me funny I’ll say what I want
Don’t ask for the cash back
Guns spark like a flashback
Your rep I’ll trash that
Gonna blaze up a hash plant
Watch these scary bitches call hazmat

Verse 2

Whenever we roll
Whenever we load a bowl
People crowd around
We take control
Its impossible with the weed I hold for you not to get down
What you hear in the first place
You came to the worst place
I’m high gonna surface
You don’t want that green split the scene or state your purpose
We don’t want no fed but you want to see us get fed up
We don’t fall for the set up
Get up
Look at you now you about to go head up
My flow got sped up
You hos got wed up
Good luck tryin to get up
Med up
Take a hit and feel this sh*t
Don’t drink from the red cup

Verse 3

We still on the come up
And we come with the guns up
This ain’t about dumb luck
Got my hands on the pump what
Suckas haul like a dump truck
Hear the crowd getting loud we about to hit the stage
Shut em down get em pumped up
It’s a smoking section in both directions
Everybody about to get f*cked up
What I got in my sack it’ll blow your head back so you better not touch
Then I say that shit know I mean that sh*t
Others might play games but not us
It goes pack your bowls
Light your blunts
Let’s get high
Get f*cked up
Lost yo stash
That’s yo ass
Go and buy another one
