Critical Praise for Tanya Morgan:

"This Brooklyn-Cincinnati hip-hop trio summoned old-school cheer, goofy skits and indelible hooks for a left-field masterpiece." - Rated #1 Album across all genres for 2009 by Steve Smith, Time Out New York's Music Editor

Brooklynati featured in dozens of Best Of 2009 lists including AllMusic.com, The Village Voice, eMusic.com, Amazon.com, Onion AV Club, Time Out New York, PopMatters.com, LAMusicBlog.com, TheSmokingSection, CokeMachineGlow.com, TheUrbanDaily.com, and more.

Back with another cut from his highly anticipated upcoming debut album Don Cusack In High Fidelity, Donwill, one third of critically acclaimed Tanya Morgan, is proud to release the latest single, "Pu**y Rules The World." Don't let the name of the track fool you though. "The song is about being more critical of chasing skirts," says Donwill. "It's not a song degrading women, but more so questioning motives." The song also features west coast emcees Mykestro and Bad Lucc who spit well-crafted verses about their own experiences and motives when dealing with the fairer sex. A drum infused beat and grooving bass line collide yet leave enough space on the sonic landscape for the emcees to tell their lyrical tales. Echoing the overall theme of the song, Donwill reminds listeners that life has much more to offer than what many people get caught up with. "If your world is ruled by cash, clothes, cars or girls, you should improve your life. 'Cus there is A LOT more out there." Be sure to take note, as a little insight from Donwill goes a long way.

The Video:

The Bay Area is back with more bass, beats and bravado for your speakers, this time in the form of Moe Green. The young emcee hails from Vallejo, CA, home to Left Coast legends E-40 and Mac Dre, and is on his way to building a hip-hop legacy of his own. The first offering from the future star is a video for "Non Title Match", the Martin produced track from Moe's upcoming Rocky Maivia project. Directed by DripDigital, the video finds Moe getting his chill on to a session of Super Nintendo-assisted wrestling, while also finding time to flip rhymes and announce his arrival in the hip-hop ring. "Just might be the hottest rapper you know," raps Moe over a relaxed piano and horn-laden beat that would serve as the perfect soundtrack to any laid back afternoon. But it's not all couches and cheat codes, as Moe channels his inner Rocky Maivia and dons a championship belt and mask to slam a few bars down for your speakers. As Moe says, "it's destiny fam - I was meant to the be the man", and next time Green is gunning for that title belt.
