EspañolCUNNINLYNGUISTS
(Redirected from Cunninlynguists)
'CunninLynguists' are a multifaceted (they both rhyme and produce) hip-hop duo hailing from the South of the United States. Members Deacon The Villain and Kno have been compared to artists such as OutKast, UGK, Goodie Mob, Witchdoctor, Y'all So Stupid, Geto Boys and other Southern hip-hop acts for their lyrical content and beats.
Their debut LP, ''Will Rap For Food'', was released in October 2001. Their 2nd LP, ''SouthernUnderground'', was independently released April 1, 2003 on Freshchest Records. Guests included Masta Ace, Supastition and others, with production from Domingo, RJD2 and DJ Kno. CunninLynguists have been covered in various media outlets including The Source, URB Magazine, Spin, XLR8R, Import Tuner, The Onion, and others. The group toured throughout the USA, Canada and Europe in 2003, 2004 and 2005, appearing onstage alongside acts like Nappy Roots, Cee-Lo of Goodie Mob, People Under the Stairs, Raekwon of Wu-Tang Clan and Brand Nubian. The group soon landed a distribution contract with Caroline Distribution, and ''Southernunderground'' was the first project re-released after inking the deal in 2004.
CunninLynguists released their third LP, A Piece Of Strange, worldwide on January 24th 2006 via Caroline and Groove Attack Distribution. It featured guest spots from Cee-Lo Green, Immortal Technique and Tonedeff and is entirely produced by Kno.
CunninLynguists have announced their fourth LP, Dirty Acres. Its current release date is Fall 2007. It is said to feature Devin the Dude, Phonte of Little Brother and Witchdoctor[1]
The founding and current members of CunninLynguists are Kno and Deacon The Villain who have been found on every CunninLynguists album thus far since the group's inception in March 2000.
Kno, hailing from Georgia and currently residing in Lexington, Kentucky, has been described as "one of the top loop-miners east of the Mississippi" by URB Magazine. He produced the majority of ''Will Rap For Food'', ''Southernunderground'' and ''A Piece of Strange'', and has also received acclaim in The NY Times, Rolling Stone and other magazines for his remix of Jay-Z's Black Album, entitled Kno vs. Hov : The White Al-bu-lum.
Hailing from Versailles, Kentucky, Deacon The Villain is also an established producer. His beats have been used by the likes of KRS-One, King Tee, J-Ro from Tha Liks as well as local Kentucky artists such as Rob Jackson and Bonafide Circle.
As of January 2006, the duo of Kno and Deacon have begun work as a production duo under the banner A Piece Of Strange Music, currently producing for Devin the Dude, Lil' Scrappy, Immortal Technique and others.
Florida-based emcee Mr. SOS was a part of CunninLynguists from July of 2002 to October 2004 (appearing mainly on Southernunderground and Sloppy Seconds Volume 1) while Kentucky-based emcee Natti has been involved in the group from November 2004 until the present (appearing mainly on A Piece of Strange and Sloppy Seconds Volume 2).
