Cypress Hill Drop Politically-Tinged 'Bye Bye,' Announce Album

Cypress Hill expect to be quite prominent in 2022, kicking off the year with a brand new song "Bye Bye," as well as word on a new studio album, a coveted support slot on Slipknot's Knotfest Roadshow this spring and a new documentary about their iconic career titled Insane in the Brain: Cypress Hill that's also en route.

To start off with, Cypress Hill have just released their latest single, "Bye Bye," a darker track in their arsenal that compares growing up on the tough streets as being similar to being trying to survive a war zone.

"In Cypress Hill tradition, we always try to make a dark song," Cypress Hill's B Real says about "Bye Bye." "It’s what we’ve been known for, especially on our first three albums. This song is a statement. In a roundabout way, we spoke to the politics of today. Being lulled into this dreamworld by the government. Trying to blind us from the separation that they created, to put us to sleep while they do whatever they want."

The track follows on the heels of their 2021 releases "Open Ya Mind" and "Champion Sound," both cuts expected to be part of the group's tenth studio album, Back in Black, which now carries a March 18 street date.

“This album is a return to our roots,” Sen Dog says. “We were proud hip-hoppers back in the day and we’ve gone through it all. We’re proud to be part of the hip-hop industry. Doing a straight hip-hop joint was the way to go.”

The Back in Black album artwork and track listing can be seen toward the bottom of this post and pre-orders are available here. Listen to "Bye Bye," with a guest turn by rapper Dizzy Wright, below.

All of their tour dates are listed below and tickets are available here.

Fans should also be on the lookout for band's Insane in the Brain: Cypress Hill documentary that's expected to arrive this spring as well as a Back in Black NFT collection dropping in March.
