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

Out today through New Dawn Records, “Lazy Eye” is taken from the newly released album ‘Cautionary Tales’ by Ithacan rapper Anthony Kannon and east coast producer Frost Gamble, and includes a special additional remix featuring new Griselda Records signing Brother Tom SOS from Buffalo.

While Frost is on the boards for both versions, the beats are switched up and hit differently.  The grimy skewed rhythms of the atmospheric original are reworked as an electro boom bap slammer for the lyrical duo to deliver the high caliber rhyme skills and wordplay which has earned them the reputation as two of the hottest new talents to emerge from upstate New York in recent times.

Available on Apple / iTunes, Tidal, Amazon and below on Bandcamp and Spotify

There are also two separate official videos playing on the label’s Youtube channel

The “Cautionary Tales” album release show takes place this Saturday November 18th at Deep Dive in Ithaca where Anthony will perform the entire album with a live band.  Among the special guests on the night is Brooklyn’s Justo the MC who will be showcasing tracks from his new album “Urban Testimony”, while Frost will be spinning a DJ set.

Released today through New Dawn Records, the new album “Urban Testimony” by Justo the MC and Edinburgh lofi hip hop producer Brelstaff.

The entire theme is documented in a deeply personal narrative depicting events before, during and after the Brooklyn rapper’s curtailed and troubled time studying at Clark Atlanta University.  Details unfold of a conflicted mind on a potential escape route to academia straying rapidly on a hedonistic path and the consequences incurred.  While regrets are clear, the spirit of resilience prevails.  Emerging scathed but undaunted and emboldened by second chances, the final scenes present a renewed sense of optimism for the future with lessons duly learned. 

A fascinating and brutally honest account is relayed through trademark slick rhymes and deft lyricism, the art of storytelling set to a suitably atmospheric soundtrack provided by Brelstaff’s blend of soulful chilled lofi hip hop beats and ambient electronica.  Essential listening.

Released today through New Dawn Records, the new album “Cautionary Tales” by award winning Ithacan rapper Anthony Kannon and veteran New York State producer Frost Gamble, now resident in Canada.

Authentically powerful, the young lyricist draws on his own real life battles and challenging circumstances to convey a wide range of subject matter represented throughout the aptly titled release.  Having survived the trauma of being shot by armed intruders to the family home, it is a remarkable journey encapsulated in a series of biographical depictions, all with an underlying theme of survival, escape, progression and transformation. 

This is Storyville of a life less ordinary handled with impressive maturity through a narrative packed full of dope rhymes and skillful wordplay set to the highest caliber soundtrack provided by Frost, himself a Juno Awards nominee for his production on Fresh IE’s “Ill Street Blues” in 2020.

The pair have two upcoming album launch events, the first at The Osborne Taphouse, Winnipeg on Thursday October 26th, then on Saturday November 18th at Deep Dive, Ithaca.

The story continues.  Released today and following on from previous single “High”, AA side ‘Falling’ b/w ‘Satan’s Grip’ is the latest chapter from the album “Urban Testimony” by Justo the MC and UK Producer Brelstaff out through New Dawn Records on November 3rd 2023.

The entire theme documents the Brooklyn rapper’s curtailed and traumatic time studying at Clark Atlanta University.  Carrying the weight of expectations from a household of faith, details unfold of a conflicted mind on a potential escape route to academia straying rapidly on a path to hedonism in a brutally honest account of events and consequences.

A chilled soundtrack is the backdrop for the post-traumatic “Falling”, a remorseful narrative reflecting on the mental and physical impacts incurred, while the gritty menacing strains of “Satan’s Grip” fuel a metaphorical conversation on the risks of dancing with the devil.  Intense, compelling and a certified page turner….  

AVAILABLE ON APPLE / iTUNES, AMAZON & TIDAL. ALSO BELOW ON BANDCAMP & SPOTIFY

There are also official visuals just published on Youtube
