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.

Just ahead of the release of their new album ‘Beautiful Foundations’ on May 15th, Upstate NY rapper and producer duo Tone Chop & Frost Gamble deliver the fourth single “Gawdbrovas Connect”. 

A celebration of their own partnership stretching over three decades, the album includes those with whom they’ve built over the years by way of the specially invited guest featured artists, all of whom add to a showcase of the highest caliber rhyme skills, beats and turntablism.

The latest cut being a case in point where the pair are joined by fellow New York native Grea8gawd.  Frost’s grimy bass laden production fuels the intensity from the outset, kicks like tremors firing aftershocks through the grit.  Gauntlet laid down, Chop and Gawd step up to the plate with the full artillery, detonating bars straight from the cerebral chamber in a fierce exchange.  With targets demolished in a relentless volley of take downs, spent verbal cartridges litter the battle zone as the prize fighters leave with the spoils of war.  Straight heat for the street, out today through New Dawn Records.

Look out for a filmed documentary about Chop and Frost’s entire careers from the early beginnings to the present day premiering on Youtube shortly after the album release.

Released today, veteran Binghamton duo Tone Chop & Frost Gamble return with the third single from their highly anticipated new album “Beautiful Foundations”, a celebration of their partnership stretching back over 30 years, which drops on May 15th 2026 through New Dawn Records.

It’s all in the name with “The Smoothest” catching the vibe.  A tribute to the lyrical golden era of New York in a showcase of wordplay delivering a salvo of old and new school slang.  Chop’s trademark bullish bars and the effortless flows of fellow Upstate marksmen Decon Blu and Pa Pa Fresh dictate the narrative, the three re-united from their earlier Four Sportsmen project.

Driven along by the customary slick productions with Frost at the wheel, it’s a classic recipe.  Seasoned campaigners shelling rhymes with ease over a luscious beat immersed in soulful flavas and exquisite turntablism.  Done and dusted, the bragging rights are well earned.

Available to stream and download from all digital platforms including APPLE MUSIC, TIDAL MUSIC and below on BANDCAMP and SPOTIFY

Released today, “Play No Games” is the second single to be taken from the album “Beautiful Foundations” by New York State rapper and producer duo Tone Chop and Frost Gamble, out through New Dawn Records on May 15th.

Layers of classic boom bap hip hop beats underpin hard bars as the veteran rap battle champion goes on the hunt with a verbal salvo aimed at upcoming title contenders. Joining them on the mission is legendary turntablist DJ Eclipse, renowned for his work with Non Phixion, Ill Bill and ongoing Fat Beats ambassador. Still flying the flag high and representing the dopest new underground bangers with his Rap Is Outta Control Show on Shade 45, the cutting skills on this joint are typically off the scale, stoking the fires further in a fusion of gritty authentic heat.

Knockout punchlines in a heavyweight bout for the heads, this also marks the label’s first release during their 30th anniversary year.   Slick business from the Binghamton boys, dial it up to the max.

Available to stream and download from a multitude of digital platforms and stores including APPLE, TIDAL and below on Bandcamp and Spotify

The official video is also now playing on Youtube
