You know it and I know it — Tanya Morgan put out one of 2009′s best albums with Brooklynati. That record took me back to the early ’90s without sounding cliche or contrived. That’s no easy feat considering the fact so many acts fail at trying to bring the Golden Era back. But hell, it’s not even like these three guys were going for that anyway. It’s just hard not to think of De La’s work from that time when I hear Von Pea, Ilyas, and Donwill on a track together. Anyway, Pea’s getting us all ready for his upcoming solo debut, Pea’s Gotta Have It, by offering us this ridiculously titled mixtape. And I expect nothing but great results from a project named So Motivation: The Most Skullduggery of Mixtapes, especially when it features cats like Danny! (Where are you, by the way?), Donwill, Sene, and the Lessondary.

You can download So Motivational after the jump. Stream “Lookin Fly” below.

Here comes an exclusive cut, thanks to the good folks at FH. Two of my favorite emcees right now team up to absolutely kill this track. This is the first time I think these two have collaborated, but I really hope it’s not the last. The compilation will also feature Prince Po, Jake One, Madlib, L.I.F.E. Long, D.Black, Vanderslice, Mike Schpitz, Zilla Rocca, Has-Lo, SK, Fatal Lucciauno, Spaceman, Curly Castro, Chill Moody, IllumiNessence, Al Mighty, MaG and many more. Check out the single and cop the full compilation on February 1st.

Here comes a fantastic collaboration between producers, Erik L & Illingsworth, and the homie Sene. You may remember Sene’s ADayLate&ADollarShort, which Erik L handled most of the post-production after Blu was doing cooking up the groundwork. This cut right here will appear on Erik L & Illingsworth’s upcoming album, Northern Connection, via Still Siblings Entertainment. I don’t know about you, but this is one of the best joints I have heard recently. The production is marvelous and the vocal effects add a very interesting side to things. Give it a spin and let us know what you think…

Check out the latest single from Sene’s solo LP, ADayLate&ADollarShort. Blu as GODLee Barnes is on the boards on this track, as well as the rest of the album. One of my favorite records of the year, and it would be safe to say this fits somewhere in my top 10 of 2009. You are going to have to wait a little longer to see that list though! Check out the single and be sure to support Sene if you haven’t already…

Here is the latest leak from the Swiss beatmaker’s LP, Collabo Collection, which drops November 3rd on Feelin Music. Lost in translation? None-the-less, Chief comes through with some more fresh production. This track right here holds two of my favorite emcees doing it right now, Sene and Blu. Check it out as they go in over quite the silky smooth landscape…

Tomorrow marks the release of Sene’s solo LP, ADayLate&ADollarShort, which will be produced entirely by Blu GODLee Barnes. I received my advance last week and I feel it is my duty to urge you all to invest in this fine piece of music when it drops. You are in store for quite a treat, as Sene spits some very introspective and fun rhymes, while Blu shows us that he is not only one of the finest emcees. Check out the leak and share some thoughts after the skip…
