Video: Tanya Morgan - "Bang N Boogie"

Tanya Morgan is one of those groups that comes across as being comfortable in their own skin(think De La Soul or EPMD)... that, paired with the confidence of knowing they have dope rhymes, creates the charisma that will sustain these guys careers.

I always get the feeling they give a damn about their artistic output. Even in the absence of Ilyas from their performances, I see a chemistry between Von Pea and Donwill that says they are crew.

Fresh.

Billboard.com sees it too! Check out the write-up they received.

Nuff said. Check out the latest joint from them Brooklynati cats.

Tanya Morgan and Brooklynati are known throughout the blogosphere, but, if it were not for the rarely mentioned and oft ignored Hardcore Gentleman who knows how Tanya Morgan would be today?

I'm glad these dudes are supporting their album. It's a good listen and a fresh change from the usual.

The dudes spoke a few weeks back about how Brooklyn and Cincinnati share bridges designed by John Roebling.

Derived from the skit on the "Brooklynati" album...they do a good job of changing their voices.

Don Will - "Tribute To DJ Quik and Kurupt" mp3

One third of the group Tanya Morgan, those cats that brought you Brooklynati, Don Will...brings you his "Tribute To DJ Quik and Kurupt".

While working on his solo album, "Don Cusack in High Fidelity", he found the time to drop this one on the people.

My dude is a great emcee and you get that by the 16th bar of this track.

Check out the track then afterwards, head over to iTunes and cop the Tanya Morgan "Brooklynati" album.

Having just released their newest LP, Brooklynati, the rap group Tanya Morgan are keeping busy, getting their video for "So Damn Down" added to MTV2, working with Comedy Central's, "The Daily Show" and if that's not enough...they are preparing for an 11 day, five date Welcome To Brooklynati Tour.

I've always loved what I heard from these dudes, but, when I saw them rock the live show at Fat Beats with 3 emcees and two mics...with Von Pea sharing DJ and MC duties...I knew these dudes were the truth.

Support real hip-hop and real artists.

Look forward to them hitting the road July 8th and staying out for two weeks. Some of the places they will be are:

Fresh!

Tanya Morgan - "So Damn Down" (Keelay and Zaire Remix)

Tanya Morgan - So Damn Down (Keelay and Zaire Remix) mp3

"So Damn Down" gets the remix treatement from production duo Keelay and Zaire.

When I read there was a remix I asked myself, "Why?", but, after listening I like how it puts the fellas in different musical space than the original...in a good way.

The original is my joint, while, the remix offers a change of pace.

Check out the motivated, live performance at Fat Beats.

These dudes brought energy.

3 emcees, 2 mics and they never skipped a beat. Flava!

I don't know if rapping clearly is a trend they're starting, but, I hope it catches on.

Welcome To Tanya Morgan's Brooklynati

I got my Brooklynati postcard and map .

You know what this is...right?   

SPIN knows... check out what SPIN Music Editor Charles Aaron had to say...

(while you're there, check out the Brooklynati Megamix-the Ray, Goodman and Brown snippet at the beginning is ill.)

These cats put you in the mind of De La Soul,( think Mosaic Thump, Bionix, The Grind Date) or Brand Nubian(after Puba)but, more on some 2009 ish. 

No fake gangsta posing, no coke rap, no shooting people in the calf muscle(no diss to B.I.G.) great flow, a little melody, pure skills(" I used to get paid by the week, never got paid by the street...") and quality "the rap game" needs.

Another successful BK/'Nati pairing.
