Cypress Hill


"Black Sunday" is the second studio album by American hip hop group Cypress Hill, released on July 20, 1993, by Ruffhouse and Columbia Records. It achieved significant commercial success, debuting at #1 on the US Billboard 200 with 261,000 copies sold in its first week, becoming the highest Soundscan recording for a hip hop group at that time. The album made history as Cypress Hill became the first hip hop group to have two albums in the Top 10 of the U.S. Billboard 200 simultaneously, with their debut album still charting. "Black Sunday" eventually achieved four-times platinum status in the U.S., with 3.4 million units sold. The album's booklet features 19 facts about hemp and the benefits of cannabis, reflecting the group's advocacy for its medical and recreational use.
