A hip-hop trio related to
Cypress Hill and signed to their Ruffhouse label,
the Psycho Realm was formed by Jacken and
Duke. The duo's performances impressed
Cypress Hill's B-Real so much he decided to join the group on the recording, since
Cypress Hill had recently broken up (they actually returned in mid-1998). With a
Wu-Tang production style provided by the Psycho Ward -- actually B-Real, Jacken, and
Duke, plus
Cypress Hill percussion expert Bo-Bo -- they released their self-titled debut album in October 1997. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide
