Cincinnati-meets-Brooklyn Hip-Hop group Tanya Morgan just released its fourth album, YGWY$4 (You Get What You Pay For). Von Pea and Donwill add to a celebrated independent catalog that began with critical cosigns from Questlove and Foreign Exchange features more than a dozen years ago. They’ve since appeared on albums by 9th Wonder, J-Live, and G.O.O.D. Music producer S1.
On the LP, Tanya Morgan reunite with founding third member Ilyas on “Filthiest aka LESSLOWWITT!!,” in addition to production contributions from Kev Brown, Quelle Chris, and brandUn Deshay. The self-released effort also involves plenty from fellow Ready Or Not alums, The Lessondary—an expanded group that Don and Von belong to.
The video for “Trunk Sh*t” is straightforward Hip-Hop, what T.M. has long stood for. The black-and-white video features some P.O.V. from the trunk that throws some Repo Man vibes. Von and Don float their flows on the sparse drum and synth track (care of AEON ). The lyrics address the duo’s dues-paying for the years, and their persistence to be properly heard.
