New Dawn Records have announced today the release of the new album “Beautiful Foundations” by New York State rapper and producer duo Tone Chop & Frost Gamble.
A celebration of the pair’s working relationship and friendship spanning over 30 years, it reflects on the earliest days together in their home city of Binghamton, interrupted only for a time by Frost’s relocation to Canada, before reuniting in 2014 to become one of the most prolific partnerships in hip hop over recent years.
Dedicated to, and active in, the traditional elements of the culture from the very beginning, their music draws from the Golden Era of boom bap, turntablism and lyricism while incorporating contemporary progression. The result being an eclectic and highly impressive offering which remains fundamentally true to its roots, delivered in a showcase of skilled wordplay, gritty rhymes and polished production.
The guest featured artists are those with whom they’ve built as part of their journey including DJ Eclipse, Grea8gawd, Pf Cuttin, The Bad Seed, Decon Blu, Pa Pa Fresh, DJ J Smooth, Fresh I.E. and more.
Distributed worldwide by Xelon Entertainment, the album is available to download and stream at all major digital platforms and stores including APPLE, TIDAL and below on BANDCAMP & SPOTIFY
The album has also been published in full on the label’s Youtube channel, including official visuals at the following playlist.
On Wednesday May 20th a filmed documentary about the artists’ entire career together will be premiered on Youtube, a full account of their earliest days and the journey they subsequently went on culminating in the release of this album. A fascinating insight that will be sure to resonate with independent artists of any genre.
