Back at it again, Brick City’s Tru Trilla returns today with the AA side single “Respectfully”, lifted from last year’s album ‘XVI : Return of the Gods’ released through New Dawn Records.

Laced throughout with the kind of bullish bars and beats which earned it a front page spotlight on Bandcamp, the New Jersey veteran assembled a heavyweight line up of guest featured artists and producers to deliver a classic soundtrack fuelled by the highest calibre lyrical firepower.

Produced by Frost Gamble, the latest cut is a further testament to the levels.  Tru drops knowledge with Brooklyn’s Justo the MC and Floridian NapsNdreds in another showcase of dexterous rhymes and slick flows by verbal marksmen at the height of their game.  The narrative is reinforced by the “Qataban Remix” courtesy of label affiliate Shahin, flipping the script with an intense fusion of strings, breaks and sub Saharan flavas that hits differently. 

Available to stream on and download on multiple digital platforms including APPLE MUSIC / iTUNES, AMAZON, TIDAL MUSIC and below on BANDCAMP & SPOTIFY

There is also a brand new official video for the “Qataban Remix” just premiered on the label’s 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
