Founded in 1988, Cypress Hill was the first hip-hop group made up of Latinos to have sold multi-platinum and platinum albums and the first hip-hop group ever to get a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
In addition to influencing defining the hip-hop scene on the West Coast, Cypress Hill is also known for advocating for the legalization of cannabis consumption in the United States, for both for medicinal and recreational usage.
The documentary ‘insane in the brain’ coming from director Estevan Oriol (LA Originals), explores the history of Cypress Hill and how they remain influential more than 30 years later. The documentary also discusses the group’s relation to cannabis, as the members of Cypress Hill are known for planting their own weed, a fact reflected in their music.
Cypress Hill: Insane in The Brain is produced by Sony Music Entertainment and Mass Appeal for Showtime. Executive producers include Tom Mackay and Richard Story of Sony Music Entertainment, Sacha Jenkins and Peter Bittenbender of Mass Appeal, and Deb Klein of Primary Wave. The film is produced by Oriol and Peter J. Scalettar.
