For the first time ever, Cypress Hill are releasing a full-length Spanish-language album. Titled Dios Bendiga — which translates to “God bless you” — the record is due out July 24th via HYBE Latin America.
With longtime percussionist Eric Bobo serving as the “musical director,” Cypress Hill hit the studio in November for a marathon two-week session. Along the way, they worked with several new and established artists, including Mexican-American rap duo Coyote, songwriter Poe Leos, Mexico’s Alemán, and Argentina’s Trueno.
The resulting album is (per a press release) a “thrilling new chapter in a celebrated legacy that has spanned across cultures, languages, and territories.” The album also serves as an “anthem of strength and resistance, delivering a beacon of hope and call for unity in response to the state of the world today.”
In a statement, B-Real said that this record is no mere collection of songs, but rather a “prayer for the culture.”
B-Real added, “This album serves as a definitive reminder that our heritage isn’t a trend, but a divine legacy and a global future. We are living through a historic era for Latin rap, and with this project, we wanted to contribute a sound that honors our history and resilience. Dios Bendiga is our homecoming — a direct, Spanish-language connection to the roots and the people who keep us grounded.”
Bobo, meanwhile, said that “from day one of recording this album, something special happened.”
Added Bobo, “To make a record totally in Spanish and to just rely on our instincts was something challenging for us but we proved to ourselves that we can rise to any occasion. We also wanted to give back and fulfill our promise to our Latino fans. Getting back in touch with our Latin roots was always something we wanted to do. Now was the right time to do it.”
Our first taste of Dios Bendiga comes with “Campeones.” Not only was the track produced by DJ Flict (who acts as a “sonic architect for the entire project”), but it also features original Cypress Hill member Mellow Man Ace. The song is positioned as a “powerful reclamation of the group’s rightful place as leaders in the genre, blending their signature bilingual lyricism with the rich heritage that catapulted them as global forces.”

Cypress Hill also have a slate of upcoming tour dates, including some US/North American shows. Grab your tickets here.
