Red Bull Music Academy & Subsoniq “Dilla Day” Audio w/Pete Rock, Kweli & Ma Dukes

A few days ago, The Red Bull Music Academy (these guys just “get it”, big up everyone from the recent RBMA ATL trip) & Subsoniq (XM Radio) threw “Dilla Day”, one of the coolest Dilla tribute concepts I’ve seen yet, at the XM Performance Theatre in D.C. featuring a live band (The Players & Friends) performing classic Dilla tracks and special guests Pete Rock, Maureen Yancey (Dilla’s mom aka Ma Dukes) & Talib Kweli talkin about their Dilla experiences & memories in a Red Bull Music Academy-esque panel. Proghiphop.com has audio & some pics of the event (man, I would have LOVED to go to this) up for download here for those of us outside of DC and I imagine that video will probably end up in the RBMA’s GIGANTIC archive. Big up every involved in making this happen, hip hop needs more events like this.

whats going on with von pea?
yea, so heres what you should be looking to download cop in 2008 from your peoples. me!

dj soul & tanya morgan present “tanya morgan is a rap group” hosted by *** *******
this will be ready and out within the next 2 weeks. if youve been keeping up with us for the past year then you wont care much about this one but for those who havent youll be able to play catch up with us on this one. its a collection of all of those spare cuts weve been performing but arent on any albums or anything and theres also a few new cuts, featuring torae, kay of the foundation, kam moye (aka supastition), and naledge of kidz in the hall.

tanya morgan “the bridge ep”
this one is coming out in may. look for the title track featuring Elucid in April. Production by myself & brick beats of course, mysterious, aeon, and 88 keys (not cuddle bums). you may have read about it on the tanya morgan myspace blog but please know this is NOT some project only available at our merch table. if all goes well and we dont have to kick no ass (haha…haha?) itll be available wherever you usually buy music you like from.

sometime around those dropping, loosie music will be peer pressuring me (haha…haha?) into releasing a von pea instrumental mixtape mixed by dj low key, so for those that like my beats, youll have that to play with. the american angster stuff, the grander vonye stuff, tanya morgan stuff, i got beats man!

THEN

the main event…honestly the only thing i really truly care about these days. the true & actual follow up to tanya morgans “moonlighting” album. that album is called “brooklynati”. i want to say brooklynati will be ready and available by august of this year. we’re not just working on some songs for this, it took so much to get to this point, and more is on the line than you think, so we are approaching this album like its our final artistic statement. with that said, we promise to not disappoint.

so yea, we’re at it. if youve hit me up about working and it didnt happen, please dont take offense. like i said, a lot is on the line and im not talking about no record deals, im talking about life! we’re at a tipping point if there ever was one.
