Atlanta, GA (2001 – present)

There has never been an anomaly in hip-hop quite like the southern trio CunninLynguists. Sampling genres from psych-rock to blues, New Romantic to polka, they have been musically compared to UGK and Atmosphere in the same breath. They have toured and shared stages with Kanye West and Aesop Rock to equal success. They have produced for Lil’ Scrappy as well as KRS-One. They have crafted songs with international soul superstar Cee-Lo Green and politically charged indie-favorite Immortal Technique … on the same album. CunninLynguists have eschewed categories, boxes and labels for 6 years, 3 albums and 2 official mixtapes, all while having what XXL Magazine described as the “Most Hated Name In Rap”.

The result? If you want labels…Southern boom-bap. Too white for BET, too black for MTV2. A preacher’s son, a caucasian guy from rural Georgia and a convicted felon. But mainly … a self-made career, one of the most consistent catalogs of any current hip-hop act and one of the most loyal, worldwide fanbases in all of indie rap music.

Backed with gritty beats, quality rhymes and 808 thump, the ‘Lynguists intend on recapturing the soul in southern hip-hop. With what Spin Magazine calls “Outkast’s tragicomic poignancy”, Deacon The Villain, Kno and Natti follow in the footsteps of artists like Goodie Mob, Ya’ll So Stupid, Geto Boys and the aforementioned ‘Kast in painting a picture meant to remind the world that politics

Saying Kno isn't a good producer is fucking hilarious, he's incredible and has proven it time and time again. One of the best and most respected producers in hip-hop right now. And to say he's a douche? You don't know him, you don't like him because he ragged on Doom for treating his fans like shit, it's pretty clear who's the biggest douche between Kno & Doom.

borneobob, any reason why you don't like kno? or just hatin' in general? I find that's common among idiots, so you're in good company.
