Video: Cypress x Rusko - "Roll It, Light It"

As 2012 comes to a close, it's time for all of us to take a look in the mirror and accept the truth: Whether we like it or not, EDM is a major force in music and is here to stay. We all knew it ... Continue reading "Rating 5 2012 EDM Crossover Attempts, Best to Worst" >

When creating our 4/20 podcast a few weeks ago, we were looking for a dubstep track to include. Random google searching landed me listening to a song by  Cypress Hill  and EDM artist  Rusko . Not being able to find many details, I had no idea this was a new song. The two have teamed up for a new EP, with this being the first single. Check out the hip-hop and dubstep mash up "Roll It, Light It".

When RUSKO isn’t getting in trouble for running his mouth off on twitter, labelling Deadmau5 a **** and his record label ‘f**king useless numbskulls,’ he seems to spend his time producing his own breed of Dubstep. His latest record titled Songs fused the dirty electronic sounds of dubstep (which he is largely credited with helping pioneering… or in James Blake’s view, ruining), with pop sensibilities. Sitting in an interesting midpoint between the distorted ‘brostep’ sounds of artists such as Skirllex and Flux Pavillion , and [...]

Cypress Hill is one of the most successful hip-hop acts in history. Their debut album Cypress Hill , followed by the acclaimed Black Sunday , went platinum and double platinum respectively; the classic 'Insane in the Brain' was a crossover hit, establishing them as one of the most formidable acts in U.S. music. Their third album, Cypress Hill III: Temples of Boom , also went platinum. But they are also one of the most adventurous. Skull and Bones , released in 2000, spanned two-discs, one hip-hop, one rap metal; Till [...]

Amazing collaboration: Cypress Hill's explosive hip hop and Rusko's new age dubstep. Check out their brand new music video:  Cypress x Rusko's "Roll it, Light it": Plus, a behind the scenes video.. A free download of the amazing remix by Travis Barker!

Cypress Hill and Rusko will be releasing a collaborative EP 'Cypress x Rusko' in April 2012, and in advance of that they've given away their lead single 'Roll It, Light It' for free. You can head over to the Cypress x Rusko page for that . Moreover, they've released a video for the single, and I can confidently say that this is going to be on everyone's best music videos of 2012 list. I feel a little mixed about the track myself. The guys weave in and out of [...]

Legendary hip-hop group Cypress Hill is teaming up with dubstep’s white knight Rusko for a collaboration project Cypress x Rusko due out in April. A few days back Cypress Hill and Rusko released the music video for “Roll It, Light It” via Rolling Stone and the opinions quickly started to flood in. Honestly, I dig it. I like this collaboration project more than Korn’s and Skrillex. Hip-hop and dubstep mesh together naturally where as with metal and dubstep alterations have to be made in order to create a cohesive sound. Yet I’m not confident in how [...]

So by now you probably have heard the newest collaboration between dubstep producer / DJ Rusko, and hip hop group Cypress Hill. The audio for the song  was very sick, and created a fresh sound that pleases dubstep fans but also would make a huge hip hop hit, and one I wouldn't mind listening to. This video is very sick, filled with a high speed mixture of shots of Cypress and Rusko playing in a moving train while mountains, trees, and other objects outside of them gets blown apart and pieced together with lots of visually stunning effects. I've seen a lot of [...]

• Cypress Hill x Rusko - Roll It, Light It

I was feeling really skeptical yesterday when this video came to my inbox, initial thoughts were that if it would be the new trainwreck-combo like Korn and Skrillex & etc (and also, I had a wholeday nostalgia trip yesterday with Symphony of the Night, so I wasn't to bothered to be honest checking my mail). But I'm glad I actually did check the mail and video now for Rusko 's and Cypress Hill 's Roll It, Light It , because this was actually really good. And not just good with sound, but it's [...]

Cypress Hill and Rusko have that futuristic marijuana music for all you spacey potheads out there. While I didn't think a collaboration between Cypress Hill and dubstep producer Rusko was going to be all that fruitful, I have to admit, "Roll It, Light it" was pretty well executed. To accompany the song we have some chaotic visuals that go perfectly with this banger. Cypress x Rusko is set to drop some time in April.

A finales de enero les avisamos sobre la colaboración entre Rusko y Cypress Hill, quienes en abril lanzarán un EP en conjunto, así como el estreno del primer corte de esta colaboración titulado "Roll It, Light It". Ahora sale a la luz el video de este tema, dirigido por Jodeb. Los dejamos con algo de Raptstep.

Fuera de que sea canción para adolescente desmadroso, la verdad es que sí me gustó. Más allá de que el sencillo sea simplísimo y veamos a Cypress Hill en su único m odus operandi que consiste en explicarnos de cuántas maneras distintas se puede fumar marihuana, junto con Rusko (en su único modus operandi que consiste en hacer beats subsónicos pegajosísimos).. Más allá de todo eso.. El video es una maravilla. Se ve que les costó una muy buena cantidad de dólares, y el resultado es increíble. Lamentable que [...]

Five weeks after legendary Hip Hop pioneers Cypress Hill announced a collaboration with UK dubstep DJ/Producer Rusko , comes the first video from the self-titled EP "Roll It, Light It" . Cypress Hill front man Sen Dog stated  "I think dubstep is a natural progression of hip-hop,   Especially the way that we formulated it with Rusko, there’s definitely some roughness to it.” With B-Real adding  “We’ve always been the type of group to take chances on doing something radically different than what people expect from [...]

I don't know about most of you but I was certainly influenced by the ways of @Cypress_Hill back in my youth. Having been around for a credible 20 odd years and released a score of top selling albums in the Hip Hop world and beyond, to see them return with a fresh sound is great but to see and hear them with one of the most profound producers of Dubstep , @ruskoofficial , I almost wet my pants. This collaboration of 'Cypress X Rusko' sees us with the release [...]

Looks like the Cypress Hill x Rusko video finally dropped! This shit is DOPE! It's really well done and has some really great editing and graphics! Totally diggin the vibe. I have a feeling we'll be seeing more Hip Hop / Dubstep team ups this year! Hopefully they are done solid like this tune, instead of people like Kanye and Jay-z straight jackin beats! Yeah that's right! I said it! WHAT! [...]

" Roll It, Light It " is the first song we've heard from the upcoming Rusko and Cypress Hill collaborative EP and now it has a shiny new visual accompaniment which takes the whole product to the next level. Seriously, even if you hate the song, and have to watch the video with you fingers stuck in your ears (or just hit mute) you need to take a look. Directed by Frenchman Jonathan Desbiens, who has previously worked with the Cirque de Soleil, the video is beautifully well done and bursting with grandiose images and interesting [...]
