"Rise Up" is the title track of Cypress Hill's 2010 album on Priority Records and the second single pulled from it. B-Real and Sen Dog had been grinding away on the record for a long stretch when they asked their friend Tom Morello to give it a listen; he liked what he heard and came back with a track. He co-produced it with B-Real and shares the writing credit, and the result is rap metal cut from the same cloth as his work in Rage Against the Machine, with Eric Gardner pounding the drums.
It turned out to be built for arenas and highlight reels. The Los Angeles Clippers ran it as their home-court anthem through the 2010-11 season, WWE made it the official theme of its 2010 Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, and it turned up in The Green Hornet, Zero Dark Thirty, Silicon Valley and Guitar Hero Live.
