Deacon the Villain has been featured in notable journalism sources such as XXL,[5] Pop Matters,[6] HipHopDX,[7] and Exclaim!,[8] among others. HistoryIn 1999, Deacon the Villain and Kno met at Club Kaya in Atlanta, Georgia at an event for the now defunct Blaze Magazine that included various members of Atlanta's own Dungeon Family.[9] They had talked online previously through an emcee named Jugga the Bully, who appeared at an open mic called Underground Live at Morehouse college campus, which was held by Deacon.[10] At the time, Kno was in the group The Continuum, and Deacon was in the group ILLSTAR.[11] Afterwards, the two disbanded from their former groups and created CunninLynguists. The two also founded a production duo named A Piece Of Strange. Around 2004, Deacon formed the group Kynfolk with Natti. The two got along so well that Deacon and Kno invited Natti to join CunninLynguists.[12] Deacon released his first full length project not in CunninLynguists with JustMe, named Tragedy & Dope.[13] The same year, he released Niggaz With Latitude (N.W.L.) with Sheisty Khrist, another Kentucky emcee.[14] In 2015, he released his first solo album Peace or Power.[15] The album is self-produced and guest appearances include Tonedeff, Kno and Homeboy Sandman, among others.[16] Personal lifeWillis Polk II's hip hop alias comes from the fact that his father is a Christian Pastor. Growing up, he was raised in a baptist family and has stayed Christian. Members of his family have featured on multiple albums of his, such as his mother singing on A Piece of Strange or various family members providing vocals for his first solo album in 2015, Peace or Power.[17][18] Discography{{See also|CunninLynguists#Discography|||l1 = CunninLynguists Discography|l2 =|l3 =}}Studio albums
