Who had a hit with the song "Insane in the Brain"? Cypress Hill had the hit. The American hip-hop group released the song in June 1993 as the first single from its second album, Black Sunday.

Produced by DJ Muggs and written by B-Real, Sen Dog, and Muggs, the track combined a forceful drum break with layered samples and B-Real's distinctive nasal delivery. Its title phrase became one of the most recognizable hooks in 1990s rap, while the accompanying video used rave imagery, strobing effects, and psychedelic colors.

The song was a major crossover success. It reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Rap Songs chart and No. 19 on the Billboard Hot 100, bringing Cypress Hill's marijuana-influenced, Latin-rooted rap style to a much broader audience. It was also certified triple platinum in the United States.

A common mix-up is confusing the group with a similarly titled song or assuming the track came from Cypress Hill's debut album. It actually appeared on Black Sunday, released in 1993.
