New Hip Hop Album for 2026 Just Announced - Tone Chop & Frost Gamble "Beautiful Foundations"

 

New Dawn Records have announced today that they will be releasing the new album "Beautiful Foundations" by New York State rapper and producer duo Tone Chop & Frost Gamble on May 15th 2026, with a series of singles due to drop in the lead up.

The album marks a celebration of the Binghamton pair's friendship and working together for over three decades, and coincidentally will release during the label's 30th anniversary year.

Since releasing their "Veteran" EP in 2016 and "Respect is Earned Not Given" album in 2017, Chop and Frost have become one of the most prolific partnerships in hip hop with an incredible back catalogue of singles and EP's now under their belt.   

Featured artists include several up & coming from The Bing, and also several they have built with over the years. This is the full album tracklist

They have also just completed filming a new documentary about their career from the earliest days up until now, which also acts as a reflection of the journey hip hop itself has taken during that time.  It will premiere just after the album releases next year.

As a showcase of the quality rhymes, beats and turntablism to expect, the label have just published the official album video trailer on Youtube
