“I used to get paid by the week, never got paid by the streets, now I get paid by the beats and that’s a fancy way to say I’m broke as hell.”

The short PR that came with this Tanya Morgan track was so eloquent, it saved me the time & trouble of trying to explain the concept & blather about the beauty of this song.

There’s a city far off; it only takes a few seconds to get there though. A place you could only imagine; yet, somehow it’s one of the realest places you’ve been. That place is Brooklynati, a virtual city reachable by one click of a mouse. Listen to the soundscape of Brooklynati, USA by exploring the sights and sounds of the song “So Damn Down,” by city architects Tanya Morgan from their upcoming sophomore LP of the same name. Surrounded by a deceptively cheery orchestral blend of melodic bass lines, soft French horns, and slow pulsing synths, the song has that comforting classic hip-hop feel to it.
