"Hits from the Bong" rolls in on Black Sunday, the second Cypress Hill album, which Ruffhouse and Columbia put out on July 20, 1993. DJ Muggs produced it, arranged it and mixed it himself, and the writing credit is split four ways, among Louis Freese, Larry Muggerud, John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins.
It landed on a record that did anything but go quietly. Black Sunday entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1, and since their self-titled debut was still hanging around the charts, Cypress Hill became the first hip-hop group with a pair of albums in the top 10 simultaneously. The album went on to sell 3.4 million copies in the US.
