Morrison explains, “I have always wanted the opportunity to do an expanded, 'Deluxe' version of a record. It’s basically where you get to have some fun, remix some things, and include songs that mean something personal. Thanks to the guys at TLG ZOID, I have been given that opportunity! So to have YOUTH from KILLING JOKE actually mix an amazing dub version of We Are The Dead, to have JEFF LANE throw down an incredibly different remix of Crack Cocaine, and to have my track with Cypress Hill all on the extra disc is just a fantastic feeling! Plus I got the opportunity to remix Dystopia myself and did the whole half-time vibe that I was originally playing with, back when I wrote it."

Billy Morrison Teams Up with Cypress Hill and DMC for Double Release ​     

Rock guitar legend Billy Morrison is set to make waves with two electrifying releases featuring hip-hop’s most iconic voices. On December 13, 2024, Morrison drops “Phenomenon”, his hard-hitting single and video collaboration with rap pioneers Cypress Hill, alongside the video release for “Just Like a Movie”, his explosive track from The Morrison Project—a bold fusion of rock and hip-hop that celebrates the power of legendary artistry, featuring the legendary rapper DMC of Run-DMC.

 

“Phenomenon” highlights Morrison’s longtime friendship and creative bond with Cypress Hill’s B-Real and Sen Dog. Recorded in Cypress Hill’s studio, the track blends Morrison’s signature guitar riffs with the unmistakable vocal power of the rap legends. The accompanying video takes it up a notch, featuring lasers, bouncing low riders, and the gritty West Coast energy that Cypress Hill is known for.

The video premiered on Metal Injection today and can be seen below.

Billy Morrison shares, "Working with DMC & Cypress Hill has been a dream come true. They’re not just friends but legends who shaped hip-hop. Their energy made these songs unforgettable, breaking barriers with timeless music.”

 

"When I got the call from Billy I was excited about this collaboration! We’ve known each other for many years, shared many stages and we built up a friendship and chemistry throughout the years. So when the call came, I was in! It was killer being able to work on this project and we are stoked with how the track and the video came out," says B-REAL of Cypress Hill.

 

Morrison’s video for “Just Like a Movie” vividly captures the essence of his collaboration with DMC, a hip-hop pioneer and Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee. Filmed on the streets of Brooklyn, the video combines raw, cinematic visuals with a heartfelt tribute to hip-hop’s roots, perfectly reflecting Morrison’s genre-blurring vision. The track is featured on The Morrison Project album.

"Collaborating with Billy has been a very motivating experience. I’ve performed with him many times and he’s a great musician, musical director, and teacher. I was a little nervous when he asked me to be on a song for his new album", says DMC.

 

“Phenomenon” and “Just Like a Movie” are available now on all major streaming platforms. Both tracks will be featured on a special double A-side vinyl release, set to drop in 2025.
