Hip Hop label New Dawn Records have today announced that they will be releasing the new album “Beautiful Foundations” by New York State rapper and producer duo Tone Chop & Frost Gamble on May 15th 2026.

We first worked with the pair back in 2016 when they released their “Veteran EP”, then again the following year for their album “Respect is Earned Not Given”.

They enjoyed extensive media coverage worldwide for these releases, culminating in an appearance on DJ Eclipse’s Rap Is Outta Control Show on Sirius XM

This kick started a phase which has seen them become one of the most prolifc partnerships in recent years, with a quite outstanding back catalogue of singles and EP in their armoury.

The new album is a celebration of their friendship and working together for over three decades, and coincidentally will be released during the label’s own 30th anniversary year. It features many new upcoming artists from their hometown Binghamton together with those they’ve built with over the years.

Included are DJ Eclipse, Pf Cuttin, DJ J Smooth, Decon Blu, Pa Pa Fresh, The Bad Seed, Fresh I.E and The Bad Seed

The pair have also just completed filming a new documentary about their time together, from the earliest days of recording in their basement during the 90’s right up to the present day. We’ve had the fortune to have an advanced viewing and it’s a fascinating insight not only about their own story, but the development of hip hop itself over the years. Look out for that premiering just after the album releases next year.

For an early taste showcasing the quality of rhymes, beats and turntablism on display throughout the album, the label has just published an official video trailer on their Youtube channel.

Several singles will precede the album’s release, beginning with a special single edition of the title track on December 9th. All will be available to download and stream on digital platforms including Apple, Bandcamp, Spotify, Tidal and Amazon, while official visuals will continue to be published on the label’s Youtube channel.

We are the label’s in house promotional division, so all press, media and radio DJ inquiries about the release can be sent to us, our details available at our CONTACT PAGE. The full official album press release can be read HERE

You can also connect with Tone Chop and Forst Gamble on Social Media. They have a joint FACEBOOK PAGE with individual accounts on X/Twitter @tonechop @frostgamble and on Instagram @tonechop @frost.gamble

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.

From it is the new single “Drop Jewels”.  Produced by prolific beatmaker and turntablist DJ Tone Spliff, the joint released today features fellow Newark native and Jersey Gore group member Prince Ak alongside Brownsville’s lyrical warrior Juxx Diamondz.  In addition, the new “I-71” remix is provided courtesy of NDR affiliate Qadir who channels his inner Schifrin for a different take with a filmic twist.

Available to stream and download on a wide array of digital platforms including APPLE MUSIC, AMAZON MUSIC, TIDAL MUSIC and below on BANDCAMP and SPOTIFY

New visuals for both versions have also just been published on Youtube

Released today, “Sunday” marks the final chapter of the forthcoming album ‘Urban Testimony’ by Justo the MC and Brelstaff, out on November 3rd through New Dawn Records.

Track by track the Brooklyn rapper narrates his ill fated time attending Clark Atlanta University, documenting the journey which led to a turning point in life.  A fascinating insight of a mind conflicted with regrets, but here also in the latest offering to one filled with hope for the future and lessons learned.

Brelstaff’s soulful cool groove production mirrors the upbeat renewed sense of optimism contained within the trademark slick rhymes.  Scarred but undaunted and emboldened by second chances, the art of storytelling lives on.

Justo will be performing tracks from the album at Deep Dive in Ithaca on Saturday November 18th as a special guest of Anthony Kannon and Frost Gamble at their “Cautionary Tales” album launch event.

Available to stream & download from all major digital platforms including Apple / iTunes, Amazon, Tidal and below on Bandcamp & Spotify

Another new remix from New Dawn Records, this time by label affiliate Shahin of the single ‘Lame Duck’ originally released in the summer of 2021 and taken from producer Ramson Badbonez’ album “Lead by Example”.

Classic funky drum and & bass loops underpin rugged and raw rhymes from New Jersey  trio Tru Trilla, Fly Kwa and Prince Ak.  Trading fierce bars and punchlines, an onslaught of potent hooks and jabs from the Brick City verbal marksmen are delivered to their targets in a series of lyrical body blows that leave contenders on the canvas.

Pull up ringside for the main event on all digital platforms including APPLE, AMAZON, TIDAL
