Tanya Morgan + The Kickdrums + DJ Brainchild

You surely know what it's like to have a song indelibly stuck in your cranium, and that’s what happened the instant we first heard "So Damn Down," the lead-off single from hip-hop trio Tanya Morgan's Brooklynati. The song has a killer hook, a breezy feel, warm strings and brass, a catchy beat and–the kicker–marimba. No wonder the album was among our favorites of 2009.
