Romesh talks to Cypress Hill's B-Real about their legendary album Black Sunday, rapping in Spanish and their concert with the London Symphony Orchestra at The Royal Albert Hall.

This week, Romesh's guest is rapper B-Real, member of the iconic West Coast hip hop group Cypress Hill.

They discuss the group's longstanding success, the making of their 1993 album Black Sunday, and their bilingual raps, which led to them becoming a key name in Latin hip hop.

We also hear music from Camp Lo, MC Lyte, Verb T, Kofi Stone and Paula Perry.
