New Cunninlynguists in Sept.

Another release that I look forward to this year. It's nice to see these boys are puttin' another record out, even though I remember hearing this was supposed to be released last September. I'm a sucker for Kno's production, so I'm sure I'll like this album. It's also nice to see some of those guests....Cee-lo and Immortal Technique always bring something nice to the table and I could see Kno's production fitting their styles nicely.

---------------------------
The duo of Deacon The Villain and Kno, better known as CunninLynguists, is looking to release their 3rd LP, A Piece Of Strange, in September on QN5 Music / LA Underground Entertainment / T.E.A.M. It features guest spots from Cee-Lo of Goodie Mob, Immortal Technique and Tonedeff and is entirely produced by Kno. APOS is a concept album which CL is looking to release an accompanying, independant DVD for in late 2005 or early 2006. Meant as a companion piece to APOS, the film's entire dialogue and soundtrack will only be provided by playing the album from beginning to end simultaneously with the movie.

Also, at the time of A Piece Of Strange's release, an instrumental version of the LP will be made available as well as full size posters of the album's artwork, which was rendered by reknowned comic illustrator Becky Cloonan.
