===''Till Death Do Us Part'', DJ Muggs' hiatus, and extensive collaborations on ''Rise Up'' (2003β2012) === [[File:Cypress Hill at Vegoose 2007 01.jpg|thumb|Vegoose Festival, Sam Boyd Stadium, 2007]] Cypress Hill released ''[[Till Death Do Us Part (Cypress Hill album)|Till Death Do Us Part]]'' in March 2004 as it peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard 200. It featured appearances by [[Bob Marley]]'s son [[Damian Marley]], [[Prodigy (rapper)|Prodigy]] of [[Mobb Deep]], and producers [[The Alchemist (musician)|The Alchemist]] and [[Fredwreck]]. The album represented a further departure from the group's signature sound. [[Reggae]] was a strong influence on its sound, especially on the lead single "[[What's Your Number? (song)|What's Your Number?]]". The track featured [[Tim Armstrong]] of [[Rancid (band)|Rancid]] on guitar and backup vocals. It was based on the classic song "[[The Guns of Brixton]]" from [[The Clash]]'s album ''[[London Calling]]''. "What's Your Number?" saw Cypress Hill crossover into the rock charts again, as the single peaked at No. 23 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart. Afterwards, DJ Muggs took a hiatus from the group to focus on other projects, such as [[Soul Assassins]] and his ''DJ Muggs vs.'' collaboration albums. In December 2005 another [[compilation album]] titled ''[[Greatest Hits From the Bong]]'' was released. It included nine hits from previous albums and two new tracks. In the summer of 2006, B-Real appeared on [[Snoop Dogg]]'s single "[[Vato (song)|Vato]]", which was produced by [[Pharrell Williams]]. The group's next album was tentatively scheduled for an early 2007 release, but it was pushed back numerous times. In 2007 Cypress Hill toured as a part of the [[Rock the Bells]] tour. They headlined with Public Enemy, [[Wu-Tang Clan]], Nas, and a reunited Rage Against the Machine. On July 25, 2008, Cypress Hill performed at a benefit concert at the [[House of Blues]] Chicago, where a majority of the proceeds went to the Chicago Alliance to End Homelessness.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.theblackspotlight.com/news/Cypress_Hill_To_Perform_At_Benefit_To_End_Homelessness.html |title=Cypress Hill To Perform at Benefit of Homelessness in youth dance event for euphoria and aid relief |publisher=Theblackspotlight.com |access-date=April 20, 2011 |url-status=usurped |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20111004104738/http://www.theblackspotlight.com/news/Cypress_Hill_To_Perform_At_Benefit_To_End_Homelessness.html |archive-date=October 4, 2011 }}</ref> In August 2009, a new song by Cypress Hill titled "Get 'Em Up" was made available on [[iTunes]].
