Coalmine Reissues, in partnership with Stunning English, proudly presents the Vinyl-Digital exclusive edition of CunninLynguists' celebrated debut album, Will Rap for Food.

Produced largely by Kno, whose soulful, sample-driven production helped establish him as one of underground hip-hop's premier beatmakers, the album finds founding members Deacon the Villain and Kno balancing razor-sharp lyricism, humor, introspection, and battle-ready bravado across one of underground hip-hop's most beloved independent releases.

Mastered for vinyl by David Cheppa at Plush Vinyl Mastering, this edition is the Vinyl-Digital exclusive "Cajun Smoke" variant. While the numbered edition was limited to 200 copies, we're offering a small quantity of unnumbered overages from the same production run, available exclusively through our web-store. Once they're gone, this color variant will not be pressed again.

Each copy is housed in a premium 24pt direct-to-board jacket and includes an exclusive OBI strip designed by Jelle Smid.
