Back in Black (Cypress Hill album)

Back in Black is the eighth studio album by American hip hop group Cypress Hill, released in 2022. It marks their return to a harder-edged sound after exploring different musical directions in previous albums. The album title is a clear reference to the classic AC/DC album of the same name, signaling a deliberate intention to recapture a classic and potent energy. Musically, the album is characterized by its gritty beats, B-Real's distinctive nasal vocals, Sen Dog's aggressive delivery, and DJ Muggs' signature production style, emphasizing darker and more traditional hip-hop elements compared to some of their more recent work. Themes explored in the album include social commentary, drug culture, and the group's enduring legacy within the hip-hop landscape. "Bye Bye," featuring Dizzy Wright, is a notable track on the album.
