To mark the relaunch of New Dawn Records in 2019 after a 15 year hiatus, an initial series of releases were made available combining re-worked and re-mastered back catalogue originally only available on vinyl & CD formats, with some previously unreleased material and new exclusive tracks.

"Sapientia" by Underground Cartel is the second in the series and falls into the "previously unreleased' in any format category. The brainchild of producer Kruze, this is an international collaborative project rooted in the traditions of unity within the global hip hop community, multiple territories are represented by the various male and female featured artists.

From the United States, west coast rappers Swiss Precise (KBH Crew) and Crazy Ballhead are joined by Iowa’s Brandon J Atlas, Boston’s The Yukonn MC, Virginia’s Black Market, Baltimore rapper Tone Rome and NYC’s Lockness, all blessing the mic with fierce rhymes and unique lyrical flows alongside the UK’s Creamo and Rapstation host Mr CRF.

They stand shoulder to shoulder with a healthy European contingent. On the fuel injected “Warriors”, Spain’s El Meswy (now based in Brooklyn) trades bars with Black Market and Beni Blanco from French crew “Originaires du Sud”, Croatia’s Magellano goes toe to toe with Creamo, Brandon J Atlas and the late great Primo Brown from Italy’s Cor Veleno crew on the infectious “Evolution”, while Dutch rapper Bleek Wonder and German counterpart Grizu join Lockness on the driving neck breaker “New Testament”.

Italy’s Marya walks a neon lit path with The Yukonn MC and Swiss Precise down the laid back jazzy recesses of “U Owe It 2 Yourself” as Zimbabwe’s Dumi Right and Mr CRF go all in on the gritty 70’s funk laden “Diggin’ Deeper”

True to its essence with choice beats and superior lyricism delivered in native tongues, the project was begun in 2005 but only now finally mixed and mastered and available to download.
