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

New Dawn Records are pleased to announce a new partnership with Australian Independent Digital Distribution company Xelon Entertainment.

This marks an exciting new chapter in our journey since re-launching in 2019 after a fifteen year hiatus in which time we’ve had the privilege of working with fantastic hip hop artists from both sides of the Atlantic.   We would also like to place on record our appreciation for all the assistance and logistical support provided by the staff  based at Ingrooves’ London office in helping our development over the past few years which proved to be invaluable on many occasions.

After a chance discussion with a long time industry friend and associate, who also happens to be Xelon’s Global Operations Manager, the decision was taken to progress down this new avenue and we are very much looking forward to working with them in the coming years.

A number of future projects are currently in the works and we will provide further updates shortly, but meantime you can find out more about Xelon at their official website www.xelondigital.com and of course still dig through our digital crates of back catalogue – here’s a little selection to get you started

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
