New Dawn Records are pleased to announce the release today of the new AA side single “Respectfully” by New Jersey rapper Tru Trilla, which also marks our first with new distribution partner Xelon Digital.

Featuring Brooklyn’s Justo the MC and Floridian NapsNdreds, the original version produced by Frost Gamble first appeared on Tru’s album “XVI : Return of the Gods” last year. This earned a front page Spotligh Feature on Bandcamp, in no small way due to the kind of bullish bars and beats present throughout further enhanced by a heavyweight line up of guest featured artists and producers.

Those include Reks, Lakim Shabazz, Skyzoo, Ruste Juxx, N.B.S., Guilty Simpson, Julius Luciano of Shoe Gang, Recognize Ali, Juxx Diamondz, Tone Spliff, Jamal Nueve, LG Roc, and many more.

The latest cut is a further testament to the levels, with the narraitive reinforced by the brand new “Qataban Remix” courtesy of label affiliate Shahin, flipping the script with an intense fusion of strings, breaks and sub Saharan flavas.

Available to stream and download on multiple digital stores and platforms including APPLE MUSIC / iTUNES, AMAZON, TIDAL MUSIC and below on BANDCAMP & SPOTIFY.

There is also a new official video for the Qataban Remix on our Youtube channel

Released today on our Youtube channel, the new video “Qataban”.

Produced by Shahin principally as a remix for a forthcoming single release by New Jersey rapper Tru Trilla, he wished for the extended instrumental version and accompanying visuals to be used as a message of support for the women and girls of Afghanistan, Iran, Africa and indeed all around the world suffering at the hands of oppression, domestic & mental abuse, physical brutality and injustice.

Effectively a sequel to his earlier release “Anuket” following a similar theme of struggle and redemption, it is another timely reminder that while turbulent global affairs have attentions turned elsewhere, their plight has not been forgotten. A testimonial to the bravery and dignity with which the fight continues to be fought. Our warrior queens will prevail.

In memory of Mahsa Amini R.I.P.

Something a little bit different from us to see out 2022.

After what’s been yet another turbulent year in the world with war, political chaos, extreme weather events and a cost of living crisis set to hit people hard, we can all use a few moments that help soothe the soul. Albeit, if you’re in the UK, you’re probably chilled to the bone right now but you get the idea……!

During the summer we released producer Shahin’s remix of “Lame Duck” featuring New Jersey rappers Tru Trilla, Fly Kwa and Prince Ak.  He has now laced us with this new bonus cut, a soundscape drawing on his own cultural and historical influences which blends electronic chillout and lo fi hip hop with a fusion of Nubian strings, woodwind, hypnotic  keys and ethereal voices.

Set sail with Anuket on a journey of enlightenment…….and breathe.

Available on APPLE, AMAZON

We’re currently working with artists as they finish new major projects which we’ll announce in the early part of 2023.

Meantime, everyone at New Dawn Records wishes you all a peaceful holiday season and all the best for the new year. We’ll see you on the other side.

New Dawn Records are pleased to present another new remix release this summer following on from Qadir’s re-work of “Bismillah” ft Justo the MC, Johaz & Sleep Sinatra in July.

“Lame Duck” originally appeared on London producer Ramson Badbonez’ album ‘Lead by Example’ which dropped in August 2021, and our affiliate Shahin’s new interpretation mixing classic funky drum and & bass loops underpins rugged and raw rhymes from New Jersey trio Tru Trilla, Fly Kwa and Prince Ak. Trading fierce bars and punchlines, an onslaught of potent hooks and jabs from the Brick City verbal marksmen are delivered to their targets in a series of lyrical body blows that leave contenders on the canvas.

Available to stream & download on all major digital platforms including APPLE, AMAZON, TIDAL
