The
Video:
Donwill, Ilyas, and Von Pea of
hip-hop group Tanya
Morgan never sleep and as
a result of their endless grind they continue to churn out good material for
our iPod obsessions. The latest of their endeavors is Donwill's solo LP, Tanya
Morgan Presents: Don Cusack in High Fidelity. In case you're wondering
how Donwill, or anyone for that matter, can create an entire album off of the
2000 hit comedy,
High Fidelity, then you should brush up on your John
Cusack YouTube clips. The movie offers plenty of spoof-worthy material, the first
of which can be seen in Donwill's video and song "Laura's Song," directed
by Marques Green. Similar to the movie, we witness the progression of Donwill's
courtship. What seemed to have started off well, with the new couple easing into
their relationship, hits a bump in the road when socially inept audiophile Donwill
reveals his baggage too soon. Although a mistake many of us have made, you will
have to check out the "Laura's Song" video to see if Donwill was able
to redeem himself.
The
Background:
Tanya Morgan is back with their third project,
Brooklynati, following the success of Moonlighting and The
Bridge. Since Von
Pea, Ilyas, and Don Will formed Tanya Morgan in 2003,
they have received high praise from media elites such as Spin, The
Source, XXL
Magazine and a resounding
seal of approval from the blogosphere. Considered by many to be our generation's
torchbearers for De La Soul and A Tribe Called Quest,
Tanya Morgan will once again put their skills on display with the unique hip-hop
Americana sounds of their Brooklynati album
this spring. Based on the fictitious city of Brooklynati, this
release pushes the boundaries of a concept album by incorporating not only lyrical
imagery but also cultivating a culture and mindset, which can be experienced
through the City of Brooklynati Chamber of Commerce website:
http://www.brooklynati.com/home.html. The sites, sounds, memories, and events of Brooklynati will be unleashed on
May 12th through Bay-Area based record label Interdependent Media,
the architects behind the funding and development of Brooklynati. Wanderlusts

Critical
Praise for Tanya Morgan:
"The trio's latest, the savory The Bridge EP, demonstrates
why Tanya Morgan has been a critical favorite for the last several years.
Their deliveries are effortless, their beats run the gamut from smooth
to boom-bappy, and their music has an inspiring vibe." - The
Source
"Never mind the name — Tanya Morgan is a hip-hop
trio with an affinity for soul breaks, big beats and complex, conscious
lyrics."" - RollingStone.com
"their newest project, the highly anticipated The Bridge,
is garnering them more buzz than a U.S. soldier’s haircut." - XXLMag.com
"With all due respect to Talib and Hi-Tek, I'm actually
more inclined to revisit team Tanya's likeably loose, bordering-on-sloppy
inaugural effort than said ballyhooed backpack-crowd classic." - XXL
- Chariman's Choice
