B-Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs formed Cypress Hill in South Gate in 1988, later adding percussionist Eric Bobo. Black Sunday (1993) debuted at No. 1 on the strength of "Insane in the Brain," and the group went on to sell over 20 million records blending West Coast gangsta rap with psychedelic production and bilingual lyrics. One of the first Latin American acts to break mainstream in hip-hop, and in 2019 the first hip-hop group to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
