In the lead up to the release of his new album “Respect Is Earned Not Given” on September 29th with long time sparring partner, NY State rapper Tone Chop, producer Frost Gamble spoke with Australia’s “Tone Mvmt”.

They were catching up again as the magazine had covered his previous “Veteran” EP release with Chop and “Black Beach” album with Detroit rapper ZotheJerk, but this time the discussion was focused more on the Winnipeg based beatmaker’s own story.

They take it back to what inspires him most as a producer, and the changes he’s witnessed over the years both within the music industry itself and also in terms of his own goals and approach. Signing with Miami label 22 Entertainment last year has proven pivotal in his rapid emergence as a name of note, and he speaks on the relationship there and the opportunities it has produced.

The pair talk about the progression on from the “Veteran” EP to the new album, and also the new future projects including the “Rare Fabric” EP with Tragedy Khadafi releasing in October and what could prove his masterpiece to date in the shape of the future “I Missed My Bus” solo album which includes features by Ras Kass, Skyzoo, Guilty Simpson, Rah Digga, Ruste Juxx, KXNG Crooked and many more.

He also takes time to give his views on the current Canadian hip hop scene and explains how being an ex professional poker player resulted in his artist name.
