The MP3:
Last week, Tanya Morgan reemerged on the scene, delivering ARMY Edition, the latest - and perhaps greatest in their Lessondary Radio Podcast series, with a track list of songs that included features from 9th Wonder, Skyzoo, King Mez, and more. Along with it came the announcement of their forthcoming You And What Army EP, and now the Brooklynati duo is excited to give fans "Whatever That's Mine," the lead single from the nine-track EP, which is now scheduled for a November 22nd release.
"2011 has been a transitional period, professionally and personally," explains Von Pea, now one-half of the duo alongside Donwill. "Keeping that in mind, 'Whatever That's Mine' is inspired by the idea that everyday is another chance to go for yours, no matter what it is that you're after. We were so damn down before, but now we're getting up and going for ours."
The track, produced by Von Pea, who's joined behind the boards for the EP by Exile, Astronote, AEON, and Brizzo, is feel good music in its truest form, a mix of bouncy percussion laid under guitar and vocal chops, perfect for Don and Von to get boisterous. "Playing with it ain't an option now/ You set it up, you better try to knock it down," raps Donwill. "Feeling good feels better when you ain't bitter/ And the only way to fail is being a quitter."

The
Background:
Since their inception in 2003, the rap group Tanya Morgan has steadily built a strong foundation of fans and admirers for being what SPIN Magazine referred to as our generation's torchbearers for De La Soul. Following the release of Moonlighting (available in cassette tape format) and The Bridge EP, Tanya Morgan earned critical praise and Top Album of 2009 list inclusions for Brooklynati, which pushed the boundaries of a concept album by incorporating not only lyrical imagery but a creative, multi-tiered marketing campaign that included Brooklynati drivers licenses, an interactive Chamber of Commerce website, a welcome letter from the city mayor, ?uestlove of The Roots, and more. In 2010, they released a free downloadable album called The Sandwich Shop, cleverly crafted from a selection of rare instrumentals from The Roots. Earlier this year, Donwill and Von Pea released acclaimed solo albums, Don Cusack in High Fidelity and Pea's Gotta Have It, respectively. They have since reunited for the next Tanya Morgan project, You & What Army, which will be released November 22nd.
