CunninLynguists - Strange Journey Vol. 3

CunninLynguists pack their latest project with one track after another of quality features.

CunninLynguists - Strange Journey Vol. 3

Kentucky hip hop outfit Cunninlynguists have just released the third installment of their Strange Journey series, which features a relentless gauntlet of guest rappers. Some of my current favorites sit among them: Apathy, Del The Funky Homosapien, Aesop Rock, Blu.

While the record doesn't seem quite as conceptual as something like Oneirology, it still looks like a solid collection of tracks. Enjoy!

CunninLynguists- Oneirology

On their latest album CunninLyngusits bring some seriously cinematic production. All of the atmospheric textures make the perfect setting for lyrical themes dealing with dreams. Of course, "dreaming" isn't limited to what you see in your sleep. This LP delves into fantasies of all shapes and sizes: sexual, violent, ambitious.

As interesting as it is to see Cunnin' take on this topic, I do have to admit that this type of rap music is not for the cynical. I personally don't perceive it to be cheesy, but I could see it reading that way with some people.

Still, the beats alone make it worth a visit, at the very least.
