BMG Rights Management, formerly known as Bertelsmann Music Group, is a global music conglomerate with a rich history in the industry. Originally formed in 1985 as a joint venture between Bertelsmann AG and RCA, BMG has since evolved into a powerhouse of music production and distribution.

In 1986, Bertelsmann acquired full ownership of RCA and Arista Records through the purchase of their joint venture's stock from General Electric. The following year, these labels were merged under the umbrella of Bertelsmann Music Group (BMG), solidifying its position as a major player in the music world.

In 2004, BMG joined forces with Sony Music to create Sony BMG Music Entertainment. However, in 2008, Bertelsmann sold its stake in the company, leading to the formation of BMG Rights Management. Today, BMG continues to thrive as a leading record label and distributor worldwide.

Cypress Hill is an American hip hop group hailing from South Gate, California. They were formed in 1988 and have been making waves in the music industry ever since.
The current members of Cypress Hill include Louis "B-Real" Freese on vocals, Senen "Sen Dog" Reyes on vocals, and Eric "Eric Bobo" Correa on drums/percussion. B-Real has been with the group since its inception in 1988, while Sen Dog took a brief hiatus from 1995 to 1998 before rejoining. Eric Bobo joined the group in 1993 and has been an integral part of their sound ever since.
Although Cypress Hill has seen some changes over the years, with former member Ulpiano "Mellow Man Ace" Reyes joining briefly in 1988 and Lawrence "DJ Muggs" Muggerud leaving the group in 2004 (only to return from 2014 to 2018), they continue to create groundbreaking music that resonates with fans worldwide.

Cypress Hill shifts culture. Since releasing its eponymous debut album in 1991, the California rap group has regularly revolutionized rap. B-Real and Sen Dog’s innovative lyrics, distinctive voices and poignant street-centered subject matter catapulted the group to superstar status. Its first LP sold more than 2 million units and its second album, 1993’s Black Sunday, pushed another 3 million units thanks to the Grammy-nominated singles “Insane In The Brain” and “I Ain’t Goin’ Out Like That”. Along the way, Cypress Hill earned a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, sold more than 9 million albums, and were nominated for three Grammy Awards. During a time increasingly defined by singles of the moment, rappers B-Real and Sen Dog wanted to make a statement by releasing an album. Back in Black, the group’s tenth studio project, finds the group flexing its musical muscles and pushing itself creatively. With a mesmerizing mix of celebratory, confrontational, inspirational, reflective, and rugged songs, Cypress Hill shines throughout Back in Black. Entirely produced by Black Milk (Slum Village, Lloyd Banks, Pharoahe Monch), the LP is an homage to Cypress Hill’s return and its collaboration with Black Milk.
