As they prepare for their third studio album, Tanya Morgan has teamed up with Rapper Big Pooh to hit the road for 2011.
Rapper Big Pooh has remained busy since Little Brother disbanded in 2009, releasing The Purple Tape, where he raps over select Black Milk instrumentals, touring with fellow NC MCs Hall of Justus and forming The Young Americans, a new group with west coast veteran Stone’s Throw artist Roc C. While prepping the Young Americans album and his next solo album, Dirty Pretty Things, Pooh also found time to record the first installment of his FatBoyFresh mix series entitled; For Members Only.
