Cypress Hill
There are rumblings that ‘90s hip-hop group Cypress Hill is calling it a day after 30 years, so it's probably a good time to catch the band play Tampa's Hard Rock Event Center on Sunday, Oct. 9.

In an interview with NME, B-Real did say that the group’s next album after its latest, Back In Black will be its final "traditional release," but the “How I Could Just Kill A Man” boys are looking at leaning on singles and EPs instead, mainly due to shortened attention spans of listeners.

Hopefully, no one bails early at the gig on Sunday, and if anyone does, well…boom biddy bye bye, I guess.

DJ Lord, the band’s tour DJ who also plays with Prophets of Rage and Public Enemy, is booked to play Crowbar’s Ol’ Dirty Sundays in Ybor City after the show, so spend some extra money and ask the babysitter to stay late.
