Deacon is especially adept at the wordplay, where he opens up the album with the line, “The musi cmakes me high even though I stay away from cannabis like Wyclef.” In addition to their quick witted bars, the duo also chart out more emotional terrain, with Deacon’s confessional account of finding himself through hip-hop on “Mic Like A Memory” and Kno’s painful story of abandonment by his mother on “Family Ties.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the album title and scattered skits of two panhandling emcees, the CunninLynguists playfully appeal to both the mainstream and underground dichotomy, without dwelling on the distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMastered at Plush Vinyl Mastering by David Cheppa. Presented as a 2xLP pressed on Cajun Smoke vinyl, featuring a clear base with a blue and red smoke effect.
