Donwill and Von Pea have made Tanya Morgan a successful group for 17 years. In 2021 they released their best album, Don and Von, so Dan-O had to pick their brains; not just about the growth and craft displayed but the journey that brought them here. Gems of industry and artistic wisdom soak every minute of this one. Please stay for the full talk!

● Talk about PremRock-Load Bearing Crow’s Feet, Zelooperz-Van Gogh’s Left Ear, and Snoh Aalegra-Temporary Highs In The Violet Skies in terms of common attributes and meaningful differences. How do we feel about these albums?

● Discuss the texture of albums and the best ways to make rough, smooth, or pretty albums.

Human Zoo is the new album from Def Jux legend Alaska Atoms and Insubordinate Records president and beat magician Jason Griff. They've been working on it for a while and the world has gone to poo at least four times since they started the process. Dan-O got to chop it up with both of them about the delicate balance between holding the world accountable and holding ourselves accountable. Top tier stuff.

One of the first things you think of when you think Philly, Zilla has been making music for fifteen years. He's now an important podcaster as well. His new album Vegas Vic is out now and it is different from previous projects in important ways. Zilla is the kind of dude who gives great advice, breaks things down to the elemental. Dan-O had to talk to him about roll outs and industry trends as well as the evolution of Wrecking Crew. All Zilla fans will love this one.
