Feeling like one of my favorite hip-hop groups doesn’t get as much love and recognition as they really should. The underground group CunninLynguists (latest album was Oneirology, came out last May)
The mixture of talent in this group, Kno, Deacon the Villain, and newest member Natti, mesh perfectly together, creating tracks that provide satisfaction at every angle.
This group is one of if not THE best when it comes to setting up a visual. Lyrically amazing, these MCs set up each song with amazing beats, particular verses that are everything but boring, and hooks with soft vocals that you just get sucked into. CunninLynguists display great talent in intertwining rapping and singing on things like personal situations and dreams, twisted love stories and drug habits. Every song tells a tale in a manner that makes it nearly impossible to NOT enjoy their music.
Enemies with Benefits F. Tonedeff - Love this beat, and the voice singing behind each verse. I think Tonedeff is also very under-appreciated, his quick style of rapping is unique and hypnotizing.
Seasons F. Masta Ace - Gives you a ride through hip-hop and the ups and downs in the music industry. Again with a switch up in speeds and beat in the chorus, this song is on my top 10 favorite list. Also obsessed with Masta Ace (check out his song Beautiful)
Beautiful Girl - Like the music intro, that extends over the beat through the song, Almost Jazz like. Visionary verses take you through a relationship, only to realize this love is the personification of weed.
