Open Mic Presents… Tanya Morgan (Interview Series Ep. 23)

By David Reyneke on 7/8/09 in Interviews

Tanya Morgan Interview1It’s been a long time coming for Tanya Morgan, and we have been following their progress almost since the beginning. With a few stellar releases, I feel like they have finally made the breakthrough they deserved with their most recent effort, Brooklynati. And not only was it a fantastic LP, but the marketing scheme behind the album was flawless. If you haven’t noticed some form of promotion to move out to the lovely city of Brooklynati, then I have no idea where you have been. But moving back to the music, I know everyone here at Potholes, and most of you readers would agree that they put out one of 2009′s best hip-hop albums. With that said, I would like to introduce the three-man killing squad called Tanya Morgan, consisting of Ilyas, Donwill and Von Pea. Come sit with us as we discuss the new album, their hometowns, the music scene and much more!

Here is a preview, hit the skip for the full feature…

Reyn: Hey guys, thanks for coming by. How is everything?
Von Pea: Getting better!
Donwill: Chilly chill, homie…

Reyn: Moonlighting was your first real jump to the stage back in 2006. Three years later, you guys are about dropped one of the freshest, most highly anticipated LPs of the year. How have you guys grown as a group and matured as artists?
Von Pea: The album from ’06 was recorded in ’04 and honestly rushed, so I feel lucky that some people call it a personal classic. At the same time, I knew we could do a lot better with a full effort. I felt this way in ’06! So, when it came time to do this one, we started in ’06 and fully finished it up in January ’09. We took our time, and just got better naturally. From the natural progression, the next step was just 
criticizing what we had. We weren’t going for perfect, but we did want 
to “get it right”.

Video: Tanya Morgan – “So Damn Down”

By David Reyneke on 6/5/09 in Videos

With one of the best releases this year in Brooklynati, Tanya Morgan comes strong with their video for the hit single, “So Damn Down”. It’s great to see some underground acts like this grow over the years into a much bigger presence in the hip-hop community. But anyway, I am sure you have heard enough about this album with all their great promotion, so sit back and enjoy this fantastic video.

Download: Tanya Morgan – Brooklynati Album Sampler (DJ King Most)

By David Reyneke on 5/12/09 in Downloads

tanya morgan

The homie King Most just finished constructing a mega mix to one of my favorite albums of 2009 so far, Tanya Morgan‘s Brooklynati. You have heard me say it before, but this right here, is what hip-hop is suppose to be. It’s been a long time since I heard something this organic and authentic in an album, it’s almost unreal. Everything from the beats to the rhymes to the skits, make me feel like I am right smack in the center of the golden age of hip-hop. And after you give this mega mix a listen, go move out to the Town of Brooklynati, an interactive promotional website for Tanya Morgan, and join the community. Oh yeah, and when you are done with that, go cop the album!

tmpress copy Download: Tanya Morgan Morgan Blu ft. Blu

This track right here, flawless. It is a great pleasure to hear a track by one of my favorite groups, featuring one of my favorite emcees. And if you are asking if this track is a good indicator for what to expect from TM’s upcoming LP, Brooklynati, the answer is a big fat YES. And if you haven’t even heard of Tanya Morgan, now is certainly the time to hop on the bandwagon. Check out the track, get ready to cop Brooklynati, and enjoy!
