Tone Chop and producer Frost Gamble celebrate three decades of working together with the release of "Beautiful Foundations" on New Dawn Records. This is a landmark project in every sense. Frost Gamble, a respected producer in underground hip-hop, has impacted mixshows globally for over a decade, achieving international distribution of vinyl and CD releases, charting in several countries, earning a Juno nomination, and having his music selected for inclusion in the official Archives & Library of Canada. Fourteen tracks, all produced, mixed, and mastered by Frost. DJ Eclipse, Pa Pa Fresh, and DJ J Smooth contribute cuts – an acknowledgment of years of support. The feature list reads like a family reunion: Will K, Myne Frame, The Bad Seed, Yasha, Pf Cuttin, Doc Holiday, Decon Blu, Pa Pa Fresh, Grea8gawd, Fresh I.E., and Carmela Marie. Frost's entry into hip-hop came in the early '80s through breaking, later MC-ing, graff, and beatdigging – Binghamton close enough to NYC that the tapes would arrive a few months after dropping. The album captures the essence of building something real from nothing – basement sessions, four-track recorders, and an unbreakable bond.
