GeoReview: Tanya Morgan, The Bridge EP
By Clayton Ruley
 

Tanya Morgan is not a solo artist as many would think by their name but rather a group consisting of MCs Donwill, Ilyas and MC/Producer Von Pea repping Cincinnati and Brooklyn, New York respectively since 2003 collectively. The three man team comes through with The Bridge EP, 9 tracks with nice beats and surprising lyrics.

The team does it's thing on cuts like "The Bridge" featuring Euclid, a organ laced track that borrows from KRS-One and MC Shan's classic beef.

"Filthier aka "Place"" has a nice beat with samples that reminds you of De La Soul in the early years.

Morgan members talk about burning midnight oil in pursuit of their goals in "Got To Be Done" and "Be You" featuring Czelena on the hook has a nice two-step feel to it.

"Get Me Inside" has a slow groove appeal to it and the fellas do their thing talking about their sexual experiences.

Morgan members jump on a fast jazzy track on "Threemcees" and you can get the feeling that they aren't sweet to the taste as MCs.

"Hip Hop Is Dead II" talks about how Hip Hop isn't dead and much more over a saucy slow cut.

The bonus track "How Low" is something out of a time machine and the roller skating rink! The three man team does it thing rapping in a 1980s style and ends the EP on a wanting more.

This is solid effort and the members show their individuality on this EP. I'll give it 4 GeoGlobes. It's worth the investigation.
