Don Cusack, a.k.a. Donwill or the tragically underrated crew Tanya Morgan, a.k.a. the group with the girl name, is preparing to release his new solo album “Don Cusack in High Fidelity”, but first he’s lined up a new mixtape, “Laura’s Song”, to get the masses properly excited. The first leak off the the mixtape is the old school “Misdemeanor”, an old school r&b meets rap track that I guarantee will fulfill any “well, I haven’t heard this before” criteria.
