Will Rap For Food is the debut album by southern hip hop group, CunninLynguists. It was released by Urban Aces in October of 2001 and was re-released by Freshchest in 2005. It garnered a decent amount of critical success. It boasted one single, "So Live!" which was released via Buds Distribution and did well for a debut 12". It is almost completely produced by Kno who produces on all but one track. The rapping is mostly handled by Deacon, but Kno as well as guests Mr. SOS, Cashmere the Pro, Tonedeff, Kashal Tee, Mr. Raw, Celph Titled, Sankofa, J. Bully and Kory Calico handle a fair share of the vocals.

It contains a track called "Thugged Out Since Cub Scouts" which satirizes gangsta rap and rappers claiming to be hard by use of clever metaphors.
