Von Pea - Something to Do
Producer: brandUn DeShay
Album: So Motivational!
Label: Unsigned
It’s common knowledge that, once you make it out of school and into the “real world,” all your doubts and insecurities disappear in a puff of smoke and you suddenly realize exactly what you need to be doing with your life… Nah, I’m just pulling your leg. The truth is usually much closer to the scenario described in Something to Do, the first solo feature from Tanya Morgan emcee Von Pea, On this newly-leaked cut, the Brooklyn native paints a vivid lyrical portrait of life as a twentysomething in the 2010s, constantly struggling to balance a time-consuming job with his higher ambitions (as well as the nagging urge to just pack up and skip town). Heavy stuff – good thing it’s backed by one of the most blissfully mellow beats I’ve heard in a minute. Eccentrically-named producer brandUn DeShay flips Luiz Eça y la Familia Sargrada’s rendition of Brazilian standard Pais Tropical into a breezy backdrop for Von Pea’s introspective rhymes. Like what you’re hearing? There’s plenty more where this came from on Pea’s So Motivational! mixtape, available now online.

My favorite song feature of this batch... by leaps and bounds. Excellent wordplay and story telling and some highly underrated production work from newcomer brandUn DeShay. The theme works well with the album title.

This production is so airy and dreamy that it makes you feel like you are sitting on cloud 9. Von Peas comes with some good rhymes and makes this a nice listen.

Huge props to brandUn DeShay on the beat. TheBaytoLA 's dead on, it's dreamy and dope. And Tanya Morgan always come correct, and it's looking like their solo projects (Donwill, Von Pea) are going to be top shelf as well. New 9-to-5ers anthem.
