Biography:
The progressive Southern duo Cunninlynguists` combination of witty lyrics and edgy production has made them a favorite of underground hip-hop fans. Before they teamed up, Deacon the Villain from Kentucky and Kno from Georgia were already well known among the hip-hop underground for both their skills on the mike and their abilities in the producer`s chair. Celph Titled, Tonedeff, and Mr. SOS all made guest appearance`s on the duo`s 2001 debut, Will Rap for Food, which appeared on the small Urban Aces label and soon went out of print.
Rave reviews and Internet message boards helped make the album a rare collector`s item until it was reissued in 2005 by the Caroline-associated Freshchest label. Freshchest was also responsible for the Cunninlynguists` sophomore effort, 2003`s Southernunderground, which found Mr. SOS joining the group, allowing Kno to switch his focus from rapping to production. Two loose mixtapes featuring a parade of guest stars have also appeared, with Sloppy Seconds, Vol. 1 landing in 2003 and Sloppy Seconds, Vol. 2 following two years later. Mr. SOS had moved on by the time of their third album, Piece of Strange, which arrived in 2006.
