Cypress Hill's name is forever etched into the hip-hop history books, as is N.W.A.'s, and now they're both contributing to rising Argentine rapper Trueno's excellent output. Moreover, he just released the remix to his song "F*CK EL POLICE," which pays homage to the West Coast classic. Cypress Hill shows up on this hard-hitting and bass-heavy homage, contrasting Trueno's authoritative and focused flow with B-Real's signature yelpy rasp. The original came out in 2022, and this remix comes in celebration of hip-hop's 50th anniversary, plus Cypress Hill's own celebration of their 30-plus-year musical legacy. What's more is that, in an interview with Rolling Stone, the Latin American spitter spoke on this remix's importance to him.
"Bringing Cypress Hill on for 'F*CK EL POLICE' was so important for me, given the style of the song,” he remarked. “Of course, it has a lot of history with N.W.A and 'F*ck tha Police.' The flow of the song, for me it [felt] very much Cypress Hill, and it was important for me to raise a fist and bring this message to the Latin side as well, the reality that we go through. To have legends of hip-hop like Eric Bobo, B-Real, and Sen Dog in the United States makes this concept much bigger and much stronger. This collaboration was a dream for me.”

In addition, this song accentuates its political messaging of violent social resistance with a strong bassline and a lot of percussive elements. Furthermore, the hand drums popping all throughout the track hit just as hard as the classic kick and snare pattern that roots the track in boom-bap excellence. Meanwhile, each verse is cutting, raw, and incredibly concentrated, making for a volatile and energizing bilingual banger that you must add to your playlist.

Quotable Lyrics
Stay away from me, I'm an outlaw,
'Bout to cut your a** into pieces with a chainsaw,
See the stain, feel the pain, let your brain raw,
I'm the cocaine in your brain, feel *nsane, y'all
