The progressive Southern couple Cunninlynguists' combination of witty lyrics and nervy production has made them a favourite of metro rap music fans. Before they teamed up, Deacon the Villain from Kentucky and Kno from Georgia were already well known among the hip-hop subway for both their skills on the mike and their abilities in the producer's chair. Celph Titled, Tonedeff, and Mr. SOS all made guest appearance's on the duo's 2001 debut, Volition Rap for Food, which appeared on the small Urban Aces label and soon went knocked out of print.
Rave reviews and Internet message boards helped make the record album a rare collector's item until it was reissued in 2005 by the Caroline-associated Freshchest label. Freshchest was as well creditworthy for the Cunninlynguists' sophomore effort, 2003's Southernunderground, which base Mr. SOS connexion the group, allowing Kno to switch his focus from rapping to production. Two loose mixtapes featuring a parade of guest stars give as well appeared, with Sloppy Seconds, Vol. 1 landing in 2003 and Muddy Seconds, Vol. 2 following two years later. Mr. SOS had moved on by the time of their third record album, Objet d'art of Strange, which arrived in 2006.
