IV, Cypress Hill's fourth studio album, hit the streets on Ruffhouse and Columbia on October 6, 1998, and the South Gate crew sound as blunted and menacing as ever. DJ Muggs produced it, laying down murky, head-nodding West Coast grooves for the crew of B-Real, Sen Dog and Muggs himself, with MC Eiht and Barron Ricks stepping in as guests. The cover says plenty: skeletons posing as the three wise monkeys, seeing, hearing and speaking no evil.
"Dr. Greenthumb" is the one that stuck on rock radio's countdowns, and the album went Gold in the US. It had a second life in an unlikely place, too: "16 Men Till There's No Men Left", "Checkmate" and "Lightning Strikes" turned up in the 1999 PC game Kingpin: Life of Crime, where the group also did some of the voice acting.
