Von Pea

Von Pea is a Brooklyn-based rapper, producer, and founding member of the indie hip-hop trio Tanya Morgan, known for his witty lyricism and soulful beats. As one-third of the group (alongside Donwill and formerly ILoveMakonnen), he helped shape their jazz-infused, '90s-inspired sound since their 2006 debut "Moonlighting." His solo work, including projects like *The Dirtee Deacon Beat Tape* and *Duly Noted 2*, showcases his knack for crafting boom-bap rhythms layered with nostalgic samples and self-aware bars. Tracks like *Ode to Slick Rick* and collaborations with Donwill highlight his reverence for hip-hop history while maintaining a casually clever delivery. Von Pea remains a low-key luminary in underground circles, balancing MC duties with production work that keeps one foot in the golden era and the other in modern DIY hustle.
