Insane in the Membrane: Cypress Hill Hosts ‘After Hours,’ a New Video Interview Series Where Fellow Artists Spill It All

When Cypress Hill burst onto the music scene from the West Coast in the early 90s, no one had ever seen or heard anything like them before. Here was a trio creating something wholly new—rap mixed with rock through a Latin lens—made all the more distinct by B Real’s nasal delivery, Sen Dog’s guttural bark, and the hard-driving beats of DJ Muggs. Authentic and innovative, it was seismic, something that immediately shifted the aural landscape.

“Our intention from the beginning,” says B Real, on the phone from Los Angeles, ”was to not be like everyone else. We wanted to think outside the box.

“I think doing something like this is also out of the box,” he adds.

That something he’s referring to is a video interview series, called After Hours, in partnership with Mexico-born, California-brewed Cerveza Montejo. In it the members of Cypress Hill, now seasoned vets of the music game some 30 years in, will interview other artists about the industry and their art: Swae Lee of Rae Sremmurd, Meyhem Lauren, Estevan Oriol, Chika. The series is unscripted. Everything is on the table. Including Cerveza Montejo.
