We’re pleased to offer this special edition repress of CunninLynguists’ acclaimed sophomore LP, SouthernUnderground, released in partnership with Stunning English.

Originally released in April of 2003, the album is a masterclass in Southern hip-hop that artfully balances lyricism, storytelling, and soulful production. The trio—consisting of Deacon the Villain, Kno, and at the time Mr. SOS—carves a niche in the Southern rap landscape with a sound that's deeply rooted in the region's musical traditions while pushing the boundaries of the genre. 

What makes SouthernUnderground particularly timeless is its unique fusion of Southern roots with a boom-bap sensibility, allowing the group to avoid the typical rap tropes often associated with Southern rap. All things considered, SouthernUnderground cements the CunninLynguists as underground rap titans capable of crafting complex, thought-provoking music without sacrificing Southern charm.

This special edition repress features the illustrated version of the album cover designed by Ali Nokiani, pressed on classic black vinyl (limited to 300 copies worldwide).
