B. Cox & J. Owe review West Coast and Hispanic iconic group Cypress Hill's self-titled debut album Cypress Hill. After undergoing a couple iterations with group members, the trio of B. Real, Sen Dog and DJ Muggs brought their debut album onto the seed over snapped and hard production over rhymes filled with references of life in the streets on the West Coast, dark humor and most of all, weed. Their foray into the marijuana sub culture made them pioneers prior to even the exploits of fellow southern Cali rappers Dr. Dre and Snopp Doggy Dogg who would do so to another level not even two years afterwards.

UGK: Ridin' Dirty (1996). A Texas Rap Manifesto (feat. Nathan "The Professor" Rideaux)
B. Cox once again welcomes Nathan "The Professor" Rideaux of Food Dope Podcast to review UGK's third album, the southern classic Ridin' Dirty. After feeling neglected, underutilized and underfunded by their record label Jive, the Texas duo went to work to lay their classic album to prove them and the industry wrong. Over soulful, funky and bass heavy production by Pimp C and N.O. Joe, they sought to bring the industry to a slice of life in their corner of the world in Texas; life riddled with hard times, drug problems and war, murder and struggling to get by. The reality in their raps backed by the superb production gave Bun B and Pimp C their best selling album to date.
