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

More information about the single and album release is available at the label’s official website www.newdawnrecs.com

Binghamton rapper and producer duo Tone Chop & Frost Gamble, the latter now based in Canada, drop their new album “Beautiful Foundations” through New Dawn Records on May 15th this year.

The title track was released last month as a single, available from all digital platforms and stores, while the official video was published on Youtube

They have just recorded a special “Beautiful Foundations Freestyle” where Chop in customary fashion gets busy on the mic with a neat twist by dropping the names of all the album tracks in his bars.

He linked up recently with local videographer Lil Kurby, who also filmed the official single video, to take to the snowbound streets of Binghamton for some new visuals which you can now watch on Youtube.

The album itself was recorded by the pair to mark their long standing friendship and working relationship together dating back three decades, and features many of those they’ve met and built with on the journey.

A landmark release, they have also filmed an accompanying documentary which details their earliest days together, maps out the trials and tribulations they encountered on the way and of course speaks on the new project. It’s a must watch for all interested in hip hop’s history and culture, and will resonate with independent artists everywhere. Look out for this dropping shortly after the album.

Plans are also underway for a special launch event to take place in their hometown, with details due to be announced in the coming months.

The next single will be “Play No Games” on February 10th with features cuts by DJ Eclipse [Shade 45 / Sirius XM – Rap Is Outta Control Show]. You can hear a snippet of it as part of the Official Album Video Trailer which was released late last year.

There’s just over 2 weeks to go until Constant Deviants release their fourth studio album “Avant Garde” on the 12th May.

It will be made available on vinyl, CD and digital formats through their own Six2Six Records label.

2016 will mark the 20th anniversary of their debut 12″ release “Competition Catch Speed Knots”, and while they spent 8 years working on seperate projects for Arista and Roc-A-Fella, they’ve been prolific since reforming officially in 2009 and setting up their own imprint. Albums, singles, releases with their colleagues in Switzerland SWC Records as Trilateral Commission, Emcee M.I. himself has recorded 4 albums in the past year and DJ Cutt has been producing various projects for the label.

The Baltimore & New Jersey duo, once based in Brooklyn in the earlier years, have been busy in the past few weeks conducting interviews with a host of international publications. The latest to appear on the internet is with French online “Hip Hop Breath” where they discuss their album, their work and time spent in France and Switzerland, their influences and thoughts on the current rap scene. M.I. then also speaks on recent events in the USA which has led to much publicized racial tensions and the role artists can play to address this.

A little earlier, M.I. spoke with Chase March for his WIB Rap Radio show which is broadcast Mondays midnight to 2am on Canada’s 94.9 CHRW and affiliated to the online publication The Word is Bond.

He talks about the meaning behind Avant Garde which brings them on to speak about the bridge between the old skool hip hop sound and today’s version, he gives his thoughts on the emergence of artists such as Kendrick Lamar and J Cole, production techniques through the years and how some classic albums compare to today, support levels for artists in the D.M.V. and Tri State areas compared to the west coast and the South, graffiti, their 20 years in the game and much more.

M.I. and DJ Cutt will be in NYC to meet with media from Friday 8th May to Thursday 14th May inclusive.
