'Rise Up' is Cypress Hill's title track off their eighth studio album, available April 20. Featuring West Coast hip-hop beats and heavy guitar licks by Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello, this song can rally up any crowd, which is why WWE elected the track as the theme song for the Feb. 21st professional wrestling event 'Elimination Chamber.' It's lyrics even match the anthem-driven rock song: "There's so much more to make the whole city rise / This defines a man to get the whole world lifted / Walk back trying to make a land with a mission / There's no way you can stand in this position."
'Rise Up' will be the Latino hip-hop group's first studio album in six years and first album with EMI/Priority Records, signed on by the record company's Creative Chairman Snoop Dogg.
