Berner and Cypress Hill’s B-Real have released Inside The Bag, a 12-song, 40-minute joint album that came out on November 11, 2026, through Berner’s own Bern One Entertainment. It is the fifth full collaboration between the San Francisco rapper and the Los Angeles veteran, and their first since Los Meros in 2020. The album listing on streaming services credits both artists equally and carries a 2026 Bern One copyright. Berner’s official YouTube channel also carries the video for “Come Around,” a Berner and B-Real track featuring Demrick, a West Coast rapper who has worked with both men before; Berner and Demrick appeared together on “Murda Murda” with Paul Wall in 2015. ## A partnership with a 12-year paper trail The pair started in 2014 with Prohibition, then moved fast. Here is how the run lines up: - **2014:** Prohibition - **2015:** Prohibition (Part 2) - **2016:** Prohibition (Part 3) - **2020:** Los Meros - **2026:** Inside The Bag Three albums in three years, then a four-year gap, then a six-year gap: the two have now spent longer between records than they did making the original trilogy. Inside The Bag closes a gap that began in 2020, and B-Real also turned up on Berner’s 2020 single “Kings” with R-Mean and Wiz Khalifa in between. ## Who Berner is, for newer listeners Berner, born Gilbert Anthony Milam Jr. in San Francisco in 1983, founded Bern One Entertainment in 2007 and has released 22 solo albums and dozens of collaborative projects since. Four of his solo releases have reached the US albums chart, led by From Seed to Sale, which peaked at No. 20 in 2022. He signed with Wiz Khalifa’s Taylor Gang in 2012, and the Khalifa connection still runs through his catalog; our piece on [Wiz Khalifa’s new album Cool and his move to 10K Projects](https://badiyaa.com/wiz-khalifa-cool-album-10k-projects/) covers where Wiz is now. He is also a businessman. Berner founded the Cookies brand in San Francisco in 2015, starting with clothing and later expanding into licensed dispensaries in several countries. That side of his career explains the album’s title and much of his imagery, and it is why a Berner album often lands with merchandise and retail tie-ins as well as streaming links. He has made a habit of long-running partnerships. Besides B-Real, his discography includes three Drought Season tapes with the late Bay Area rapper The Jacka, several projects with Ampichino, and Pheno Grigio with Curren$y in 2019. ## Where B-Real fits B-Real has fronted Cypress Hill since the early 1990s, and his link to Berner predates their albums: Cypress Hill headlined Berner’s 4/20 show at the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium in San Francisco in 2016, the same year Prohibition (Part 3) arrived. That shared West Coast history is the thread through all five records. Inside The Bag is Berner’s second collaborative album of 2026, after Cartel Symphony with Nava, and it follows his solo releases Profit & Pain and Sitting Bull earlier in the year.
