Brooklynati Out On May 12th! Are You Moving?

Critical Praise for Tanya Morgan:
“Brooklynati” is Tanya Morgan’s latest project, and it basically cannot disappoint. In fact, it’s genetically engineered to be better than you. For good measure: Von makes brownies better than your mom, Ilyas reads more books than Reading Rainbow, and Don is meaner than the guy that stole your lunch money yesterday. And they all still rap better than your cousin’s best friend’s ex-boyfriend’s brother. Yep better than all that.”- MSNBC

“Tanya Morgan make… messages that resonate with the everyday listener and accessible beats that captivate the spirit of Hip-Hop’s most devout followers, not to mention their reputation for dominating live stage shows.”215Mag

“With all due respect to Talib and Hi-Tek, I’m actually more inclined to revisit team Tanya’s likeably loose, bordering-on-sloppy inaugural effort than said ballyhooed backpack-crowd classic.”XXL – Chariman’s Choice

In preparation for their forthcoming album, Brooklynati, dropping May 12th, Tanya Morgan will make several exciting appearances in New York including a performance alongside DC-Rap heavyweight, Wale, and “Unsung Hero” singer Colin Monroe on Thursday, May 7th at Le Poisson Rouge, an in-store at the Fat Beats store, and an appearance on the historic WNYU Halftime show.

Tanya Morgan has been grinding of late and after a 12-city tour of Canada, they are ready to introduce NYC to Brooklynati. Highlighting the creativity, throwback sound, and personalities of the emcee trio, Brooklynati is an album, a place, and a state of mind. With Tanya Morgan providing the soundtrack, the trio invites fans to become part of the virtual city of Brooklynati (www.Brooklynati.com) and one of the most involved and intricate marketing campaigns ever created for a hip-hop release. Building off the success of their critically acclaimed debut album Moonlighting and last summer’s The Bridge EP, which received nods from ?uestlove, The Source and XXL, Tanya Morgan are stepping out of hip-hop’s shadow and moving to Brooklynati.

Tanya Morgan is back with their third project, Brooklynati, following the success of Moonlighting and The Bridge.

Based on the fictitious city of Brooklynati, this release pushes the boundaries of a concept album by incorporating not only lyrical imagery but also cultivating a culture and mindset, which can be experienced through the City of Brooklynati Chamber of Commerce website: . The sites, sounds, memories, and events of Brooklynati will be unleashed on May 12th through Bay-Area based record label Interdependent Media, the architects behind the funding and development of Brooklynati.
