We are very grateful to the Bandcamp editorial team who have just featured our most recent album release on their front page “New and Notable” Spotlight section.

“XVI : Return of the Gods” by Newark rapper Tru Trilla has only been available since Friday last week, so its immediate inclusion for special focus by the online store is tremendous news indeed.

It is just reward for the hard work put in by all involved over the past few years in making this album possible, primarily by all of the artists but also due to the various forms of logistical support provided by our in house affiliates UrbanElite Productions.

There will be more coming from this album in the months ahead, beginning on June 18th with the release of the single “Drop Jewels” featuring Prince Ak & Juxx Diamondz, produced by Tone Spliff which will also include a special remix not previously available.

For now though, with production by Tone, Jamal Nueve, Frost Gamble, LG Roc, DNA Beatz, Sumerio Square, Ramson Badbonez and Four Limbs, plus guest featured artists including Reks, Lakim Shabazz, Ruste Juxx, Julius Luciano of Shoe Gang, N.B.S., Recognize Ali, Guilty Simpson, Skyzoo, NapsNdreds, Justo the MC, Yah Ra and more, download “XVI : Return of the Gods” below on Bandcamp.

All media, press and DJ inquiries (radio, club, mixshow, mixtape) regarding this album or any of the tracks from it should be sent to our in house promotional division UEP, their contact details are HERE

We thank everyone again for the fantastic support received

New Dawn Records are very proud to announce the release today of the new album “XVI : Return of the Gods” by New Jersey’s Tru Trilla.

This has been a long time in the making. We first discussed the idea behind it with Tru around three years ago, designed as a natural follow up and progression on from his previous album “God of Barz” which we released almost exactly 4 years ago to the day in 2020. It remains an absolute banger which you can hear on Spotify.

In the best traditions, Tru is an artist who crafts his art methodically and we were happy to give him all the time needed to produce this masterpiece, working in conjunction with our affiliates at UrbanElite Productions for logistical support where required.

It’s a magnificent album featuring the highest echelon guest featured artists and producers from all around the United States and beyond. We thank them for their contributions, and also our appreciation goes to Glasgow’s Paul Smith for the album’s front cover design together with UEP’s affiliates the Two BC crew for all the single cover designs and additional support.
