CunninLynguists is an American hip-hop group from Lexington, Kentucky. The group consists of Deacon the Villain, Kno, and Natti. The name is a portmanteau of cunning, linguists, and cunnilingus.
==Beginnings== In 1999, Deacon the Villain and Kno met at Club Kaya in Atlanta, Georgia at an event for the (later defunct) Blaze Magazine that included members of Atlanta's own Dungeon Family. They had talked online previously through an emcee named Jugga the Bully, who Deacon invited to an open mic he helped throw called "Underground Live" at the Morehouse College campus, which Deacon attended. At the time, Kno was in the group The Continuum, and Deacon was in the group Illstar. Deacon soon returned to his home state of Kentucky and Kno eventually followed. Following several discussions about working together, the two planned an EP where Kno was only producing and Deacon was rhyming, but soon Kno contributed as an emcee as well.
