J. Bruno’s dreamy slacker-pop, psych-soul infused ballad ‘Lose Yourself’

The track draws on both pop and hiphop inspirations, but in a hippie-sort-of-way, where the main focal point is J. Bruno’s clear and rhythmic vocal that has a persuading cool and old school sound to it. It’s a slow and groovy track, packed in an oozing lo-fi and a tight bottom.

Cypress Hill and Bhang to Launch Rare Cannabis Products in Coordination with Highly Anticipated Elephants on Acid Album

Bhang Corporation and Cypress Hill announced today that their joint venture, CHB (Cypress Hill Bhang) is launching two collector’s edition cannabis products with the release of Cypress Hill’s long-awaited studio album, Elephants on Acid.

Scott Van Rixel, CEO of Bhang, commented: “We are proud of the Bhang-Cypress Hill collaboration. It has successfully resulted in products that reflect the band’s identity and vision. Every other week some group or entertainer approached Bhang wanting to license themselves and it was the same story, wanting us to give them money to use their name. Cypress Hill’s cannabis agent came to us with a different approach, however. They wanted to be instrumental in the creative process and wanted the products to be dope (no pun intended). The results speak for themselves.”

The first product is a 7.09 gram (1/4 oz) skull jar with the iconic Cypress Hill bucket hat.
