Instead of arguing or preaching, Tanya Morgan disproves the “Hip-Hop Is Dead” argument with a simple song that demonstrates the existence of good, living hip-hop in 2008. “Hip-Hop Is Dead 2″ features fun rhymes and a beat that samples the smile itself… yet many think the art form is dead? That’s pretty incongruous, if you ask Tanya Morgan: “They keep sayin’ hip-hop is dead but I just can’t believe it, I just can’t see it.” In other words, so long as heartfelt, playful hip-hop tracks by Tanya Morgan pop up, hip-hop cannot be dead.

The Bridge EP is available now on via Bay Area label Interdependent Media.
