Hip-hop legends Cypress Hill have unleashed the latest track, Carry Me Away, from their upcoming album Rise Up (due April 20). It features Linkin Park‘s Mike Shinoda on vocals. Here’s some commentary on the track by Mike Shinoda:
Some of you have started hearing the leak of my new track with Cypress Hill, “Carry Me Away.” Lots of good reviews, which is always nice.
I met the guys sometime around the year they joined us for the Projekt Revolution Tour. I’ve been a fan of Cypress since their first album (which I had to sneak out to buy because my mom wouldn’t let me listen to songs with titles like “How I Could Just Kill A Man,” “Pigs,” and “Hole In The Head.”
For our collaboration, I sang the chorus and produced the music (no samples–all original instruments, BTW), and they did the verses.
check out Carry Me Away below along with Cypress Hill commentary. The track is tight. You can pre-order the Rise Up album here.
BTW – look for Linkin Park’s 8-bit Revolution video game coming soon.
