My roommate introduced me to this hip-hop band, CunninLynguists. Although the group’s name is about as uncunning as a name can be, their songs have amazingly catchy rhythms and pretty good lyrics. I downloaded their new album, “Strange Journey Volume One,”and there are a lot of strong tracks on it.

The Song of the Week, “Lynguistics” (see sidebar for download link) is short and simple, but will give you an idea of their catchiness.
