A Piece of Strange

CunninLynguists

A dense, spiritual hip-hop opera built on dusty blues samples and southern gothic atmosphere. Introspective, nocturnal, and deeply soulful.

Find on Amazon

A heavy, soulful meditation on morality that feels like a humid night in a haunted southern town.

Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting choral loop on 'Where Will You Be?' that sets a high-stakes spiritual tone immediately.
The transition from the gritty social critique of 'America Loves Gangsters' into the ethereal, soaring hooks of 'Never Know Why'.
The way 'The Light' resolves the album's tension with a warm, gospel-inflected beat that feels like a sunrise after a long night.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
