They're from Seattle, or near enough, and all their stuff is nice. Start with "Not That Dude."

I don't see an obvious link from the home page to the features stuff that is sometimes referenced here at 17 dots. please direct me! probably a dumb question, but where would i access the hip-hop hub (and other features) from the emusic.com homepage?

Check him out and pass it along. Check this indie artists project “Executive Decisions” HT Entertainment Label

That Tanya Morgan album's pretty good from the first spin. All the little references, all the love. It's like another sub-genre of hip-hop; not conscious/political, obviously not mainstream or material, bombastic or celebratory. I want to say its mature hip-hop, not wiser or better in anyway from the other sub-genres, just different. A lot of hip-hop is and always has been animated and theatrical. The unfortunate thing about this album is it can be very plain if you're used to listening to albums full of larger-than-life personas and elaborate production (I don't mean in the beats). But the beats on the album are fantastic, yeah. And the sound overall is great. Reminds me just a tiny bit of <i><a href="http://www.emusic.com/artist/Blue-Scholars-MP3-Download/11645839.html" rel="nofollow">Blue Scholars</a></i> without all the Marxism. Yeah.
