Cypress Hill - "Band of Gypsies"

At this point in their career, Cypress Hill should be a nostalgia act. Their last big release was 2000's Skull and Bones, and has "(Rock) Superstar" really aged that well. They've released a few albums since then, but can anyone name any?

That's what is so shocking about their new single, "Band of Gypsies." It's a great song. They were right on the line of being a nostalgia act, but then they release their best song since Black Sunday. It's a slow burning (no pun intended) track that focuses on hip hop and not R&B, which is increasingly rare nowadays. It has an Eastern feel to it that bridges back to early 90's hip hop that always had a touch of dissonance to it.
