The new tracks celebrate the legendary album's 30th anniversary.

2023 marks the 30th anniversary of one of hip-hop's all-time classic albums. After forming in 1988 and releasing their self-titled debut in 1991 California rap group Cypress Hill set their eyes on a follow-up. What resulted was Black Sunday an instant critical darling. The album spawned a number of universally beloved rap anthems and helped to turn the band into one of its most popular acts. Major hits like "Insane In The Brain" and "Hits From The Bong" slip into a tracklist that also features fan-favorite deep cuts like "I Wanna Get High" and "When The Sh*t Goes Down."

So, in a year when rap music is celebrating its 50th anniversary, the band also decided to celebrate a seminal anniversary of one of the genre's most important albums. Earlier this month the band announced that a 30th anniversary of Black Sunday would be released on Vinyl and onto streaming services and now it's here. The deluxe edition features the album's original 14 songs as well as five bonus tracks. Three of which are remixes, another is the long-adored Spanish version of "Insane In The Brain," and the other is the track "Scooby Doo." The song provides a great opportunity for fans to revisit the rap classic, or for listeners to dive into the album for their very first time with a definitive version.
