Short for Cypress Hills Low-Income Housing Projects. An area bordered by Sutter Avenue, Fountain Avenue, Linden Boulevard, and Euclid Avenue within the
East New York section of
Brooklyn. This area is far from any actual cypress trees and is over a mile from an area known as Cypress Hills. It has always been a haven for low-lives and dirt bags, cripples, dwarfs, and sluts. Today, despite the best efforts of the NYC Housing Authority and its Police Department, there occurs, on average, a murder a month there.
Yo, me an' da Bro' went down to Cypress, and some niggaz done chased us, took our watches, and beat the shit outta us.
