Released today on New Dawn Records’ official Youtube channel, the new video “Qataban” produced by Shahin.

The soundtrack is the extended instrumental version of a remix for a forthcoming single release, but the beatmaker insisted it should be used as a sequel to his previous release “Anuket” which followed the similar theme in offering a message of solidarity and support to women and girls bravely fighting for their rights against oppressive and brutal regimes, and to those suffering at the hands of domestic & mental abuse all around the world.

Shahin added “Our warrior queens are magnificent and will have their justice. Your struggles have not been forgotten, you are still seen. You will prevail.“

Brick City’s Tru Trilla is back at it with another choice cut, the fourth single from his new album “XVI : Return of the Gods” out soon on May 31st through New Dawn Records.

“Turn That Down” is the latest display of mic skills and production levels evident throughout the upcoming release, galvanised by a heavyweight line up of guest featured artists from around the States.

Veteran NY State producer Frost Gamble makes another appearance following last month’s ‘End the Day’ featuring Ruste Juxx and Julius Luciano of Shoe Gang. His stylish soundtrack platforms a showcase of slick and conscious bars delivered in customary fashion by masters of the craft. This time standing shoulder to shoulder with the Newark native are Detroit’s Guilty Simpson and Brooklyn’s Skyzoo, icons of the game sharing their cerebral pearls.

Rhymes like polished dimes from seasoned warriors with the scars and belts on the wall that tell their own stories and built the legacies, real talk….

Available now at APPLE MUSIC, AMAZON, TIDAL and below on BANDCAMP & SPOTIFY

New single released today and the fourth to be taken from the album “Lead by Example” by London’s Ramson Badbonez, his debut as a producer.

Out on August 27th through New Dawn Records, rarely has such a line up of hip hop heavyweights from both sides of the Atlantic featured together on the one LP, resulting in a showcase of the highest quality rhymes, beats and turntablism.

Previous singles “Stay True”, “Lead by Example” and “Black Hole Cypher / Rap to the Future” bench marked the standards, and latest offering “Lame Duck” follows in the same vein as New Jersey verbal assassins Tru Trilla, Fly Kwa and Prince Ak are next to enter the ring with their trademark raw and uncompromising punchlines delivering knockout blows to all comers, the energy intensified by the potent bass and kicks combinations for a concoction of bars and beats that go the full distance.  Hard as nails.

Available to stream and download at Apple, Amazon, Tidal, Spotify & Bandcamp

Hip hop crew Belles in Monica have today released their new EP “Natsukashii”, the second in their ‘Lazarus’ series and follow up to April’s “Y’All in Meltdown”.

Out on New Dawn Records who relaunched this year after a 15 year hiatus, journeys are taken to the dark underbelly of inner city drug squalor in “Smoke Filled Rooms”, industry machinations are exposed in “That All U Got?” while the booming production of “Skitzophentic” provides the backdrop for a tirade against generic conformity.

“Venom” attacks multimedia’s clandestine misinformation schemes while the mood is switched in “Hip Hop”, a funked up, sample laden ode to the culture. A soundtrack incorporating tight eclectic beats, turntablism and filmic themes concludes as the final credits roll with “Resistance is Futile”, a bonfire of the vanities in a metaphorical dystopia.

Produced by Kruze as a showcase for independent male and female artists from the USA, UK, Europe and Africa, the concept is represented in its truest form as all perform in their native tongues. 

Stateside there’s coast to coast representation courtesy of Swiss Precise (KBH crew Long Beach), Sacramento’s Crazy Ballhead, Midwest rapper Brandon J Atlas, Boston’s Yukonn MC, Black Market from Virginia, Tone Rome of Baltimore’s Raw Dialect crew and Brooklyn’s female MC Lockness. 

London’s Creamo and UK Rapstation host Mr CRF are joined by Zimbabwean Dumi Right, with a heavy European contingent in the form of Madrid’s El Meswy, Beni Blanco from French crew “Originaire du Sud”, German rapper Grizu, Croatia’s Magellano and Dutchman Bleek Wonder.  The Italian scene has double representation in the shape of female lyricist Marya and the late, great Primo Brown from legendary crew Cor Veleno.   

All stand shoulder to shoulder trading bars which move seamlessly through each track and territory.  The result is a fresh, eclectic and extremely rare mix of rhymes, beats and turntablism, essential listening for the global hip hop connoisseur.
