London grime has met LA Rap with Rusko teaming sounds to Cypress Hill on a collaborative EP.

Titled simply Cypress x Rusko, the EP was recorded over 6 months in the States with B-ren of Cypress Hill musing;  “We’ve always been the type of group to take chances on doing something radically different than what people expect from us. So this carries with the tradition of us going out of the box”

“If it’s not something that we embrace then we don’t dare mess with it and this is something we fell right into the pocket of.”

Rusko nerved the hardened rappers by bringing them out at a recent show to perform the material live although the reaction was “deafening and unanimously positive”. A blend of two greats.

Cypress x Rusko is due out early April, stream a 30 second tease below;
