Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan): Grand(er) Vonye

Finally, something worth sharing.  This weekend was extra dry for music.

Anyway...you want some unreleased Von Pea?
Damn right, you do.  I'll let him explain it:

Remixed by me 4 years ago...I'd recorded the original "Grand Vonye" over a bunch of Kanye beats but then decided to do it with my own. I started on April 20th, 2007 around 7pm and finished on April 21st, 2007 around 7pm. I did this for fun back then and never released it because it was done so quick, but since it still sounds good to me here it is.- Von Pea

YC The Cynic ft. Soul Khan, Von Pea & Sene - More & More

   YC the Cynic Feat. Von Pea, Soul Khan & Sene - More & More (Prod. J57) by YNMDAnthony

How can you not like a jam with that combo on it?
This is dope.  YC's Fall FWD on March 1.

The Lessondary (Von Pea, Donwill, Spec Boogie, Che Grand & Elucid) - Faded

This is from Von Pea's So Motivational mixtape from a while back.

This is great.  The song is great.  The simplicity of the video is great.
Anything that even remotely involves any member of Tanya Morgan is always great.
GREAT, I SAY!!!

I know this shit can get confusing, so I'll explain the above:  Von Pea & Donwill are members of the group Tanya Morgan, and they also run with the larger collective knows as The Lessondary, which includes Che Grand, Spec Boogie and Elucid, who you see up there.  Yeah.

Von Pea ft. Uzoy - There U Were

I assume you've been paying attention and you've been rockin' this rekkid for weeks now, right?  Of course you have.  You have good sense.

Focus ft. Von Pea, Donwill & Chaundon - Homage to Ali Shaheed

Self-explanatory, and rightfully dope.
Have some.

Von Pea: Pea's Gotta Have It

Just a sample...


New album from Tanya Morgan's Von Pea is FINALLY OUT TODAY!!!
Put all of you Album of the Year contenders on pause, because without even hearing the whole thing, I am 100% certain that this is gonna be a contender.

Said it before, I'll say it again, thank God for Tanya Morgan.
They are the very epitome of the phrase "last of a dying breed".

Ahhh...I needed this.
Music and the internet in general have been trying to kill me all day.
Refreshing.  Thank you, Von Pea!
Have some.

Pea's Gotta Have It Oct. 12

Side Question That No One is Gonna Answer Because I'm Shouting Into an Empty Room:  Over the last 2yrs, between the group album, solo albums and mixtapes, has anyone come even remotely close to consistently putting out as much great music and the members of Tanya Morgan?

Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan) - The Yorker

  Von Pea-The Yorker by deeRok

Very nice.
On Oct. 12, Von Pea will release Pea's Gotta Have It, a concept album based on his time in high school, and what he thinks his 17yr old self would have recorded.
This is one of those situations where I can give a 5-star guarantee on something without hearing any of it.  It's impossible for this to be whack.

Gotta love Tanya Morgan.
Just straight up, no frills, no extra nonsense Hip-Hop.
Pure and simple.

Donwill & Von Pea: The Sandwich Shop

2/3 of Tanya Morgan + The Roots = A mixtape better that 90% of the albums I'll end up "buying" in 2010.  Oh joy of joys!

Do you remember this?
Well Donwill & Von Pea have taken 9 of those instrumental track, done their spittin', and will be releasing it all right after Donwill's solo album drops on the 23.  That's magic.

Here's a sample:  "Cheesesteak"
Man, this is gonna be great...ridiculously great.

I love geographically referential tracks.
Yup.  That's exactly what I just typed.

Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan) - Toss It Over

I love "underground" tracks with piano-heavy samples.
This is gonna be my jam for the weekend.
Doesn't really go with 20 degree air...but whatevs...the car is heated.
