Australian pop music icon Sia has joined forces with Cypress Hill and Grammy-nominated producer DJ Flict for an unexpected collab.
Together, the trio have come together for STREET X STREET, the new anthem for the Los Angeles Football Club. The energetic tune features Sia’s inimitable vocals blending with DJ Flict’s beat and Cypress Hill’s raps, creating a unique song designed to hype up the team and fans alike.
According to a press release, what makes the news even sweeter is that Sia is a supporter of the Los Angeles Football Club, attending their 2022 MLS Cup victory. Meanwhile, Cypress Hill’s B-Real, Bobo, and DJ Flict regularly attend the games at BMO Stadium in L.A.
You can listen to the song below.
B-Real stated that working with Sia “brought a whole new energy” to the song, citing her powerful voice and Cypress Hill’s consistent pushing boundaries as reasons why the song works.
“Collaborating with Sia on STREET X STREET was a first for us, and it brought a whole new energy to the table,” B-Real said. “Her powerful voice took the track to another level. Cypress Hill has always been about pushing boundaries and trying new things. Teaming up with Sia and DJ Flict to create this new LAFC anthem just made sense.”

DJ Flict added, “Sia and Cypress Hill on the same record is iconic. I produced a track with big, dramatic pop moments that flip into raw, street-driven hip-hop. It’s unexpected and it feels strong.”
Rich Orosco, LAFC’s Chief Brand Officer, said the new anthem “perfectly captures the spirit of our community.”
Orosco explained, “LAFC is a movement here in L.A., and this anthem perfectly captures the spirit of our community. We built this club Street by Street, Block by Block, One by One, and we are very honoured to have such talented global artists believe in our community and dedicate their time and energy to creating music for our fans.”
Last May, Sia released her first album in eight years, Reasonable Woman. Led by a collaboration starring Kylie Minogue, Dance Alone, and the first single Gimme Love, the album marked the long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s This Is Acting.
In July 2024, Cypress Hill performed a show like no other at the Royal Albert Hall with the London Symphony Orchestra. What started as a joke on The Simpsons became a reality last year, almost 30 years after it was prophesied on the comedy series.
The original Homerpalooza episode asked, “Did somebody order the London Symphony Orchestra? Possibly while high? Cypress Hill, I’m looking in your direction…” Cypress Hill finally performed with the London Symphony Orchestra at the iconic Royal Albert Hall. A live album was released last month.
