Cypress Hill: Senen Reyes (Sen Dog),
Lawrence Muggerud (DJ Muggs) & Louis Freese (B-Real)
American Hip Hop group
Cypress Hill hail from South Gate, California. The three original members formed a group called DVX in 1986 with Sen Dog's brother Mellow Man Ace (Ulpiano Sergio Reyes). When Mellow Man Ace left in 1988, they decided to rename themselves Cypress Hill after a street running through their neighbourhood.
The band played mainly to Latino audiences in Los Angeles and recorded early versions of songs such as the "Phuncky Feel One" and "Trigga Happy Nigga." In 1991, they signed to Philadelphia's Ruffhouse label with distribution by Columbia Records.
