Brick City rapper Tru Trilla released his new EP "The Seymour Chronicles" today through New Dawn Records.  Featuring fellow 050 Boyz members RIQ and Prince Ak together with long time local affiliate Fly Kwa, all the production is provided by another New Jersey native Joey Loax.

Singles "Warzone" and "20 to Life" have been enjoying heavy international airplay rotation for some weeks now, a reflection of the quality rhymes delivered by all four of the lyrical marksmen over Joey's classic sound of the east coast.

The EP is the prequel to Tru's new album "God of Barz" releasing late May which includes production from NJ, Chicago, Barcelona and the UK

Available to stream & download from all the major platforms and stores including Apple, Tidal, Amazon and Spotify. Can also give it a spin on Soundcloud

Brick City's lyrical marksman Tru Trilla has signed up with relaunched label New Dawn Records for two initial projects this year.

The 050 Boyz member will release "The Seymour Chronicles EP" on March 17th followed by his new album "God of Barz" on May 29th.

First out the blocks and taken from the EP is the new single "Warzone" released today and featuring fellow 050 Boyz sparring partner RIQ and affiliate Fly Kwa, produced by another New Jersey native Joey Loax. All deliver high on the verbal ballistics scale with hard bars and hook lines, while the bare knuckled beat scores blows for the classic sound of the east coast.

Originally & still available on 12" vinyl, re-launched hip hop label New Dawn Records have just released this classic banger on all digital formats for the first time.   "What D'Ya Need" is taken from the digital EP "Krash Slaughta vs B.I.M. - '18 Showdown" out December 6th which includes all the remixes produced by the legendary turntablist DJ (DMC Finals / II Tone Committee) for the Belles in Monica crew

The EP is the final one of an initial re-launch series marking NDR's return after a 15 year hiatus following on from Belles in Monica's "Y'All in Meltdown" & "Natsukashii", and Underground Cartel's "Sapientia".  The label are preparing a release schedule of EP's and albums for 2020 by new artists from the USA and UK which will be announced shortly.

Here's the joint on Soundcloud

Detroit rapper ZotheJerk and NY State producer Frost Gamble, now resident in Winnipeg, release their new album "Black Beach" on Friday May 26th through 22 Entertainment.

Zo's powerful social commentary on the experience of today's "Black America" is complimented by Frost's production, infused with a mixture of soul, electronica and straight hip hop bangers to catch the mood swings.

A one time signee to the late Proof's Ironfist label and recipient of a "Humanitarian of the Year Award" for work in the community, Zo has delivered a robust and intelligent narrative reinforced by the contributions of featured artists including Slaughterhouse frontman KXNG Crooked, Brand Nubian's Sadat X, Boldy James and legendary Random Axe member Guilty Simpson. 

The official album stream has been released on Soundcloud
