Assets: http://www.audibletreats.com/download/tanyamorgan

Don’t let the title of the song fool you into thinking this upbeat sounding song is full of hip-hop clichés about lyrical braggadocios; listen carefully to pick up on clues about the unspoken gritty truths of being an indie artist. "So Damn Down" is the lead single from Tanya Morgan's Brooklynati, an album racking up acclaim everywhere from XXL Magazine to SPIN to RollingStone.com, and more.
