Sia and Cypress Hill Join Forces for LAFC Anthem, ‘Street x Street'
The empowering track, produced by DJ Flict, celebrates the club's close connection to its fanbase, the 3252, in its Cypress Hill-rapped verses, while Sia sings in her unmistakable vocals in the chorus: 'We go hard, yeah. There's no stopping us… You can't fuck with us.'

Cypress Hill has lent its voice for LAFC anthems in the past, but this is the first time that Sia — who's been spotted at Los Angeles games in the past — sings for the soccer club.
'Collaborating with Sia on 'Street X Street' was a first for us, and it brought a whole new energy to the table,' B-Real from Cypress Hill tells Rolling Stone in a statement. 'Her powerful voice took the track to another level. Cypress Hill has always been about pushing boundaries and trying new things.'
He adds, 'Teaming up with Sia and DJ Flict to create this new LAFC anthem just made sense.'
The new track marks the sixth LAFC anthem co-produced by LAFC, most with DJ Flict at the helm. 2022 saw Kid Ink and B-Real come together for 'Do It For LA,' 2023 heard B-Real with Mexican rapper Alemán and Bobby Castro on 'Ciudad de Campeones,' and Castro returned in later that year with O.T. Genesis for 'Por La Cultura.'
'LAFC is a movement here in L.A., and this anthem perfectly captures the spirit of our community,' said Rich Orosco, LAFC's Chief Brand Officer, in a statement. 'We built this club Street by Street, Block by Block, One by One, and we are very honored to have such talented global artists believe in our community and dedicate their time and energy to creating music for our fans.'
LAFC is currently in a playoff position, landing at Number 5 on the Western Conference standings. The club is scheduled to play the Portland Timbers Friday night, marking their return from an All-Star Game break. All league games stream on MLS Season Pass on Apple TV+.

Jessie J Has ‘No Cancer Spread' Following Mastectomy: ‘Happy Tears Are Real'
Jessie J is on the road to recovery after completing surgery following an early breast cancer diagnosis. The singer-songwriter shared an update on Instagram following her mastectomy, revealing that the cancer did not spread. 'Results = I have NO cancer spread,' Jessie wrote, followed by a string of crying emojis. 'Happy tears are real. Thank YOU for the prayers, the love, the well wishes, the joy and all the positive energy.' The caption accompanied a video of her son, Sky, learning to say 'Mommy's gonna be OK.' More from Rolling Stone Jessie J Hopes Her Breast Cancer Is 'All Gone' Following Surgery Jessie J Shares the 'Honest Lows and Highs' After Undergoing Breast Cancer Surgery Jessie J Played a Show Right After 5 Breast Biopsies: 'I Didn't Want to Cancel' 'This video is from the night before my surgery,' she wrote in her caption. 'We called it baby boy. You are my biggest ray of light and with you in my life the darkness will never win.' Following the surgery in late June, Jessie said that one of the biggest pitfalls of the experience was 'not being able to be the mum I'm used to being and not picking Sky up,' as well as 'the fear of not knowing if the cancer is all gone.' Prior to the procedure, the singer shared an emotional video in which she cried at the thought of hearing her son say he loves her and not being able to say it back. Jessie is celebrating her victory, but still has a ways to go before she's fully recovered. 'Lots of healing to go and one more surgery to make these cousins look more like sisters,' she wrote. 'But for now it's gratitude time and I am changing my name to The LopJess monster.' When Jessie revealed her diagnosis, she mentioned that she was 'not processing it because I'm working so hard.' In a separate post shared in June, she looked back on a live performance she completed right after she had undergone several breast biopsies in private. 'I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories,' she said.
