Going to Mexico

October 11th, 2007 shep No comments

speaker I’ve not posted a song of the week for a while now. Mostly because there really hasn’t been anything too new that has caught my ear. I have been listening to CunninLynguists’ Dirty Acres almost nonstop for a week or so now. Recently they added the song “Mexico” ft. Club Dub to their MySpace. Many of you might remember Club Dub on A Piece of Strange album last year. They are a very talented band and they fit so well with CL. It is in honor of that and the November release of their album that I now invite you on a trip to “Mexico.”

Dirty Acres- The Excitement is Building

Many of you know I am a huge fan of an underground rap group called CunninLynguists. Their last album, A Piece of Strange was pure genius. I loved the album so much, I created (and unfortunately didn’t keep up with) a companion site (whatisapos.com) made up of fan’s insights and thoughts into the album, as well as producer Kno’s own words behind the story. They are such a talented group that anytime they drop a new song I am instantly pumped and craving more. A song from their new album, Dirty Acres, was recently released. From the QN5 Blog:

Fresh off 2006’s A Piece of Strange, an album that XXL Magazine compared to “vintage UGK and Dungeon Family“, the Kentucky-Georgia hip-hop hybrid CunninLynguists are back with the first shot from their upcoming 4th album, Dirty Acres. The song, entitled “Yellow Lines”, features Phonte of Little Brother and Witchdoctor, of the aforementioned Dungeon Fam, trading verses with CL’s Natti over a smooth, live guitar assisted beat produced by Kno. Deacon The Villain’s syrupy Kentucky drawl ties it all together on the hook, making this definite ‘must-add’ to your late summer soundtrack. Roll the windows down, notch the volume up…but watch those “Yellow Lines”.


Listen to the song and download it from here.

CunninLynguists-Caved In

February 21st, 2007 shep 1 comment

speaker The song for this week is a song by CunninLynguists. The song was their first single of their brilliant album A Piece of Strange. For those who don’t know much about CunninLynguists, they have two previous albums out, Will Rap for Food and Southernunderground. Producer Kno is a genius on the APOS album. The beats he creates are more than just beats, they are great compositions of drums, samples, and melodies. This is not a typical hip hop album. The album is one giant story from the first track to the last. Don’t let that fool you though, the songs hold their own by themselves, but for a great adventure in storytelling, listen to the album from start to finish. Once you buy the album, which I highly suggest you do, head on over to whatisapos.com to read up on what fans think, input from the artists themselves, and general news about the album. Without further ado, here is the great song by CunninLyinguists featuring Cee-Lo (of Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley fame).
