CunninLynguists are a hip hop trio from Lexington, Kentucky and Atlanta, Georgia. The group currently consists of Deacon the Villain, Kno, and Natti.
Strange Journey Vol 3 will consist of fan input for the first ever crowd-sourced album. The role of A&R will be filled by the fans.
The first ever truly crowd-sourced album -- Strange Journey Volume Three by CunninLynguists -- now has an official release date. Not happy simply "crowd-funding" a release via Kickstarter like so many other artists, Deacon The Villain, Natti & Kno asked their fans for no money -- instead they spent a year interacting with fans via social media & allowing them to vote on guest artists, suggest song concepts, letting them peek in on studio sessions & make decisions on album artwork. CL will begin taking pre-orders on March 24th via their website with an official release date of April 1st.
Strange Journey Volume Three will be released digitally, on CD & double vinyl worldwide via Bad Taste Records and will feature fan-selected artists such as Murs, Del The Funky Homosapien, Aesop Rock, Sadistik, Grieves, Celph Titled, Zumbi of Zion I Crew, Tonedeff and more.
In support of the release, CL will be embarking on a series of tours spanning the globe starting on April 4th with Strange Universe West Coast Tour in conjunction with Stok Usa & Ineffable Music Group -- dates will be announced shortly so stay tuned!
