New Jersey rapper Tru Trilla dropped his banging new album “XVI : Return of the Gods” through New Dawn Records on May 31st.

Immediately featured by Bandcamp on their front page ‘New and Notable’ spotlight section, the release is fuelled by a diverse and potent soundtrack laced with the full artillery.  Bolstered by a stellar line up of producers and guest featured artists from around the States and beyond, the result is a series of cuts delivering the best of traditions through twelve gauge bars, beats and turntablism.

Brick City’s Tru Trilla is back at it with another choice cut, the fourth single from his new album “XVI : Return of the Gods” out soon on May 31st through New Dawn Records.

“Turn That Down” is the latest display of mic skills and production levels evident throughout the upcoming release, galvanised by a heavyweight line up of guest featured artists from around the States.

Veteran NY State producer Frost Gamble makes another appearance following last month’s ‘End the Day’ featuring Ruste Juxx and Julius Luciano of Shoe Gang. His stylish soundtrack platforms a showcase of slick and conscious bars delivered in customary fashion by masters of the craft. This time standing shoulder to shoulder with the Newark native are Detroit’s Guilty Simpson and Brooklyn’s Skyzoo, icons of the game sharing their cerebral pearls.

Rhymes like polished dimes from seasoned warriors with the scars and belts on the wall that tell their own stories and built the legacies, real talk….

More heat released today from New Jersey rapper Tru Trilla, “End the Day” is the third single taken from his album ‘XVI : Return of the Gods’ out through New Dawn Records on May 31st.

Like its predecessors ‘Sun Rays’ ft Reks & Lakim Shabazz, and ‘No Joking Around’ ft NB.S. & Recognize Ali, the new joint packs a ferocious punch with another salvo of raw energy for the senses.

Veteran NY State producer Frost Gamble fans the flames coast to coast like butta’ on toast. Unleashed on the beat, Tru trades robust verbal blows with Brooklyn’s Ruste Juxx before Shoe Gang member Julius Luciano gets in on the action. It’s standard family business for the brother of KXNG Crooked, as the west coast warrior duly plants the Long Beach flag through a barrage of bars delivered at breakneck speed.

Straight fire from lyrical assassins at the height of their powers, rhymes dispensed out the chamber with no quarter given, the skills are clinical. Twelve gauge levels, bodied it….

To mark the fifth anniversary since re-launching in 2019, New Dawn Records have today released the new single “No Joking Around” by New Jersey rapper Tru Trilla.

Following last month’s ‘Sun Rays’ featuring Reks and Lakim Shabazz, this is the second to be taken from the forthcoming album “XVI : Return of the Gods” out in May.

On the new cut, the Brick City veteran has recruited another Garden State native in the form of Jamal Nueve, originally affiliated with the legendary Flavor Unit crew as DJ Jamal #9. Now resident in California, the multi credited producer has delivered a funk fuelled banger laced with ferocious bars from lyrical marksmen in the heavyweight division.

The gloves are off as Boston’s Flash and V Knuckles of N.B.S. join Tru and Recognize Ali on the rampage, exchanging trademark punchlines as combinations thrown in a barrage of body blows to would be contenders. Rugged and uncompromising, high frequency lyrics with no prisoners taken, the result is undisputed.

Available to stream and download from Apple Music, Amazon, Tidal Music and below on Bandcamp & Spotify

Official visuals have also been published on New Dawn Records’ Youtube channel

December 8th 2023

Hip Hop label New Dawn Records have today announced that they will be releasing the new album “XVI : Return of the Gods” by New Jersey rapper Tru Trilla on May 31st 2024.

We have worked with Tru on a number of occasions, initially in 2015 when as part of the group 050 Boyz they released the album ‘Everything 050’. Well received on an international scale, this resulted in the group’s appearances on Sirius XM as guests of both DJ Eclipse and DJ Premier

Fast forward to 2020, and with the re-launch of our parent company New Dawn Records the year before, we worked with Tru on a solo basis for the first time beginning with his ‘Seymour Chronicles EP’ followed a few months later with his album, the classic banger ‘God of Barz’.

In the early half of 2021, discussions took place between the label, Tru and our production division outlining the concept of its natural successor. The planning process completed, work began later that year in the early stages of its construction.

Most of those who appeared in “God of Barz” would be involved representing continuity, but this time the net would be cast a little wider with additional production contributions and guest featured artists from further afield.

A methodical and thoughtful approach which saw the recording process completed in the Spring of 2023 which has allowed Tru to craft a dynamic masterpiece, the manifestation of progression while retaining the heart and soul of the original. The tracklist speaks for itself.

For an early taste, the official video trailer has just been published on the label’s Youtube channel.

A series of singles will precede the album, beginning with “Sun Rays” on January 30th. Accompanying videos for all tracks will also appear on the label’s Youtube channel.

All press, multimedia and radio DJ inquiries or requests about this release can be addressed to ourselves. Simply visit our Contact Page for details. Meanwhile, the full official album press release can be read HERE

Released today, new single “Fine Line” by Brooklyn rapper Justo the MC and Edinburgh producer Brelstaff, taken from the album ‘Urban Testimony’ which released on November 3rd through New Dawn Records and has just been featured on Bandcamp’s front page New & Notable spotlight section.

The album’s entire theme depicts events leading up to, during and following Justo’s curtailed and troubled time studying at Clark Atlanta University some years ago, and the future chosen with lessons learned.  “Fine Line” documents a conflicted mind, weighed down by the expectations derived from a background of faith while straying from the path of opportunity in a rueful narrative.

Brelstaff’s atmospheric soundtrack cuts deep into the concept, and was first broadcast on BBC Radio 1’s Focus Beats programme during the summer.

On APPLE/iTUNES, AMAZON, TIDAL and below on BANDCAMP & SPOTIFY

There is also an official video on the label’s Youtube channel

Out today through New Dawn Records, “Lazy Eye” is taken from the newly released album ‘Cautionary Tales’ by Ithacan rapper Anthony Kannon and east coast producer Frost Gamble, and includes a special additional remix featuring new Griselda Records signing Brother Tom SOS from Buffalo.

While Frost is on the boards for both versions, the beats are switched up and hit differently.  The grimy skewed rhythms of the atmospheric original are reworked as an electro boom bap slammer for the lyrical duo to deliver the high caliber rhyme skills and wordplay which has earned them the reputation as two of the hottest new talents to emerge from upstate New York in recent times.

Available on Apple / iTunes, Tidal, Amazon and below on Bandcamp and Spotify

There are also two separate official videos playing on the label’s Youtube channel

The “Cautionary Tales” album release show takes place this Saturday November 18th at Deep Dive in Ithaca where Anthony will perform the entire album with a live band.  Among the special guests on the night is Brooklyn’s Justo the MC who will be showcasing tracks from his new album “Urban Testimony”, while Frost will be spinning a DJ set.

Released today through New Dawn Records, the new album “Urban Testimony” by Justo the MC and Edinburgh lofi hip hop producer Brelstaff.

The entire theme is documented in a deeply personal narrative depicting events before, during and after the Brooklyn rapper’s curtailed and troubled time studying at Clark Atlanta University.  Details unfold of a conflicted mind on a potential escape route to academia straying rapidly on a hedonistic path and the consequences incurred.  While regrets are clear, the spirit of resilience prevails.  Emerging scathed but undaunted and emboldened by second chances, the final scenes present a renewed sense of optimism for the future with lessons duly learned. 

A fascinating and brutally honest account is relayed through trademark slick rhymes and deft lyricism, the art of storytelling set to a suitably atmospheric soundtrack provided by Brelstaff’s blend of soulful chilled lofi hip hop beats and ambient electronica.  Essential listening.

TRACKLIST

  • Don’t Forget The Music
  • Fine Line
  • High
  • Is She ft Preem
  • No Escape
