Video: CunninLynguists - "Looking Back (Acoustic)" f/ Anna Wise of Sonnymoon

The CunninLynguists have been making some of the best hip hop music, which unfortunately, they tend to go under the radar a lot. The hip hop trio have been slaying mics and making solid beats since the early 2000's. They have some clever rhymes and are always top notch when it comes to production. Coming out next week, the CunninLynguists will be releasing their fifth album called Oneirology . On the album is a track called "Looking Back" featuring Anna Wise of Sonnymoon . Just [...]

SXSW has been dominating a lot of news posts this week, so it only makes sense that related videos make it into the backlog, including Jack White's surprise performance from his traveling Third Man Records bus, and Yellow Ostrich's feature from Spin. Further down the vids you'll also see your usual mix of music videos and performances, but make sure you check out Die Antwoord's quarter-hour film featuring wheelchairs, brief spurts of rhyme and homicide. I was pretty entranced. Now go! Jack White's surprise performance at [...]

• CunninLynguists - Looking Back (Feat. Anna Wise of Sonnymoon)

CunninLynguists just launched an acoustic version of their "Looking Back" track which features the angelic vocals of Anna Wise (from Sonnymoon ). Now, the CunninLynguists album, entitled Oneirology, is available for digital download but doesn't officially get released until March 22nd. This is definitely going to be one of the best albums of the year. Just make sure not to sleep on these guys. Check out the impromptu acoustic version of the track below.

With the CunninLynguists' latest album, Oneirology , dropping next Tuesday, it's only right that the Southern rap trio has dropped off these promotional visuals. And rather than serve up a proper video, they come correct with a live acoustic performance of "Looking Back". It features the gorgeous vocals of Sonnymoon's Anna Wise, who sounds fantastic over Kno's drumming and Willie Eames' strumming. Natti and Deacon the Villain are equally on-point, perhaps proving that we just need an acoustic record from these guys. Hit the skip for the video.

OK, it's official. After watching the above visuals, I have decided that the CunninLynguists need to do an acoustic project. They absolutely have enough material to fill at least an EP, if not a full-length album, with stripped-down takes on their music. "Looking Back," which features Sonnymoon's sweet-voiced Anna Wise, drives that point home. Deacon the Villain and Natti's verses could not sound more natural over Kno's drums and Willie Aames' guitar work. It's almost as if this is the actual version that appears on Oneirology . You can stream the entirety of [...]
