    While returning to its classic stoner headbanger style, Cypress Hill can't seem to assure a good cohesion between the styles of the album and assure a decent number of great tracks. While old fans of Cypress Hill might be satisfied by the album, influenced by the band's reputation as a pillar of hip-hop, the album may leave new listeners wondering why.

    a great mix of hard rock and rap. B Real and Sen Dogg are the duo to pull this project off of course it has its misses with me personally. favorite track would be "armada latina" 2010 was a weird year for this type of style. give it a listen.

    Like the best mashups, it doesn’t sound like it should make sense. That’s why it does.

    It goes without saying that they still possess a die-hard dedication for that certain herb, and if you don’t smoke the reefer you shouldn’t go anywhere near this record; it will leave you colder than Cheech and Chong’s Arctic Adventure

    The result is Rise Up, a hodgepodge of clashing styles, but among them are more redeeming moments than you'll find on most late-career rap offerings.
