The CunninLynguists unite different currents, which contain both the lyrical element of conscious rap and moments of soul and jazz as well as an idiosyncratic mixture of samples of polka , blues and psychedelic sounds.

CunninLynguists existed since Mixtape Sloppy Seconds Vol. 2 from the two rappers Deacon the Villain and Natti, and the producer Kno having a certain level of recognition by the remixes of Jay-Z's The Black Album gained. They released their debut album, Will Rap for Food , in October 2001, back then without Natti.

The third album by the CunninLynguists was released in early 2006 under the title A Piece of Strange and with Cee-Lo Green and Immortal Technique as guest musicians. Kno, who previously shaped the group as a rapper, limited himself mainly to producing from now on. The fourth album, Dirty Acres , was released in late 2007. The recordings included Little Brothers Phonte, Devin The Dude and members of the Dungeon Family .
