Till Death Do Us Part is the seventh studio album by the Latino rap group Cypress Hill. This album showed Cypress Hill experiment with a reggae sound - especially in the lead single; "What's Your Number?" that sampled the bass line from The Clash song "The Guns of Brixton." Another song, "Ganja Bus" features vocals from Damian Marley (son of Bob Marley).

The CD is known to have two different CD covers (artwork): One is in sepia and pictures a statue of a crucifixion scene. This version is found in Europe and Japan. The other is a black and white cover with the "old" logo on it. It has a square of thorns and roses around it. This version is found in the North American region.
